Among the collections’ many standouts are Austrian 13&9 Design, in cooperation with INNOCAD Architecture (also in Graz, Austria). Its creators play with issues such as “modularity, compatibility, flexibility and transformation” to come up with “designs that combine conceptual functional necessities and innovations with aesthetics which also to offer an emotional component.” Put plainly, for those of us not familiar with Architecturespeak, it means Anthracite or White Corian bracelets (see below) and rings that explore the “geometry of the ellipse and hexagon.” We love the results.

We’re equally fond of New Yorker Katrin Zimmermann’s Ex OVO brand of architectural jewelry, “inspired by the idea Japanese of beauty originating in the essence of form.”
