Fint runt halsen: Tjusiga silversmycken av Cindy Ng

Wow. Jag säger det igen – wow. Skapade från ett enda ark av silver enligt samma tradition som pappers origami är det här gänget med halsband bland de tjusigare jag stött på.

Designern heter Cindy Ng och smyckena tillverkas för hand. Imponerande var ordet. Jag känner mig inspirerad. Nu är det jag som ska rota fram lite papper och vika mig något fräsigt.

I've always thought that origami- the Japanese art of making paper sculptures- was beautiful. Artist Cindy Ng makes hers with sheets of silver and strings them up in pearls.The result is so delicate and classy it almost makes me want to write a haiku...

The origami peace crane necklace in ivory makes a statement of its own so its best to downplay everything else. Now is the time to go simple.
