Christina Darras — Silver Poems/ Dont forget to remember Necklace

Silver poems are one-of-a-kind necklaces made with perspex discs, designed and cut at the studio, and organic forms of silver slabs with a little poetic phrase hand engraved on them. The words represent automatic thoughts as a slogan, with a sense of humour and lightness.
