Industrial chic: Jewellery from non-precious metals

By Daniela Walker 15 : 10 : 2013 Seattle : Tarnish : Necklace

Seattle – Design duo Iacoli & McAllister – Jamie Iacoli and Brian McAllister – began as furniture designers, but quickly expanded their skills to include lighting and jewellery. Their range of jewellery follows their craft-luxe aesthetic, and features materials such as brass and copper in reference to their other work.

The duo make their necklaces out of industrial materials, but soften them with a clever use of colour, as well as harnessing the natural changing nature of uncoated brass and copper, which become tarnished over time.

The combination of metals and cord is reminiscent of our Geo Luxe design direction, which describes designers mixing materials for a new high-low take on luxury.
