New jewelry from Tjep : Heartbreak, no literally

By squirrelbait - April 19, 2007

in Object Culture

You might recognize Tjep from older work filed under his full name, Frank Tjepkema, but as of late, he's busted out with new goods, including this Heartbreak necklace, under the abbreviated title. Heartbreak is a wearable interactive piece, composed of a rubber core surrounded by an attached porcelain heart with a handy little titanium hammer for the user to create chips and cracks. (Great alternative to taking a real hammer to someone's chest.)

When broken the heart will show cracks, yet it will never fall apart as there is a layer of rubber on the inside that will keep the heart together. Indeed as one will usually recover from a broken heart, the small cracks will inevitably add up and form who we are.
