Dutch designer Ineke Otto will certainly challenge your notions of what jewellery and art are. She takes common objects one wouldn’t think of as adornment – tea cups, grass, fruit, rats and other animals – and turns them into wearable art. She also designs furniture, lighting and sculpture.
Here, a necklace of “mussels,” rendered in plastic. There are matching pieces, including earrings, ring and bracelet. Spend some time on the site and prepare to rethink your ideas on design.
IntoTemptation.....jewellery musings 
Amazing! I love what is done these days with resin. The choice of mussel shells is sublime. In the coming months, days…minutes, we’ll see designers doing this look with 3-d printers. I still respect the sheer magnitude and flair of it all–so fashion forward. Not to burst their Dutch balloons, but a Danish company has also done this look for a very long time. They use their last name as the business name, Monies. The name speaks volumes, too. Their prices for similar resin/wood pieces can be astronmical. They also work in ultra expensive formats, as well. I’ve great respect for both design firms. Visit Monies at: http://www.monies.dk/#jewelry
I know Monies’ work. If you have a look at this site, hers is really nothing like it. And yes, she works with 3D printers.
So how much does this stuff run? I don’t see any links for buying it.
Sorry, I don’t know. When a designer provides prices, I include them. If you are interested, perhaps try contacting her through her site?
