Gorpcore jewelry – yay or nay?
Personally, I’m feeling the elevated carabiner-clip-as-jewellery vibe.
Again in spring, Cartier unveiled its tackle the utilitarian carabiner clip – an audacious, deco-esque watch-carabiner hybrid set with diamonds, rubies and emeralds as a part of its Cartier Libre Polymorph assortment (above). Suitably incongruous and decadent, it’s the sort of irreverent transfer I like from Cartier.
Then final month, Chanel introduced its, Haute Joaillerie Sport assortment that includes its personal tackle the standard carabiner. Not as profitable because the Cartier gem-fest, the ‘Sporty 5’ necklace has a deconstructed carabiner within the form of an asymmetrical 5 (Coco Chanel’s fortunate quantity and thus an vital home code) accompanied by a pear-cut diamond (under). It’s enjoyable however doesn’t fairly land the witty punch of the Cartier watch.
Alternatively, for these extra utility oriented, Ramdane Touhami has designed his first jewelry assortment for his A Younger Hiker outside retailer. Impressed by his assortment of vintage carabiners, I’m completely in favour of the dainty ear sweet in gold or silver (under).
