This is Hannah Maj Kragh Bagge, a young design student from The Institute of Fine Metals in Copenhagen. Right now she is exhibiting her work together with fellow students in our Flagship store (address). In the picture above she is holding two rings, one for him and one for her. But what are they made of?
Click below to find the answer… you will probably be surprised!
A ring made out of beard… from a man! As a matter of fact the beard used to sit on the face of Hannahs boyfriend.
A ring for her made of human nails.
The rings are not for sale but is part of a school project with the purpose of discovering the definition of jewelry. Hannah wanted to experiment with hair and nails – which – as she says – looks great when they are attatched to our body, but becomes distant and a bit grotesque when you look at them – not attached!
We think the rings are both quite awful. But isn’t that what being a student is all about… to learn… and experiment… and go where nobody has gone before. We would never wear the rings, but we salute the creativity of Hannah. Keep up the good – and provocative work.
If you would like to see other very interesting works from The Institute of Fine Metals students, please visit our Flagship store where the jewelry are on display until Wednesday the 9th. of June.
Virkelig cool idé, spændende kunstner/designer!
Lækkert med en smule nytænkning inden for dansk smykkedesign!
