There is something so over the top about this design that it crosses over into wonderful for me. I don’t know the scale of the piece (or the price) but I do like its ferocity. And it reminds me of Dali’s very famous jewelled lips. Perhaps it’s a natural progression from that artistic rendering.

From Maria Francesca Pepe at www.mfpepe.com, and available as shown in white resin and ruthenium (right), or light gold and palladium (left). Pepe has worked in women’s wear and accessory design and calls her pieces “jewellery-wear”, since she considers the line between jewellery and clothing to be blurry at best. Available at these stockists.
