Dubai based jewelry designer Mona Ibrahim has teamed up with up-and-coming New York based graphic designer Ebon Heath to bring us this absolutely dope creation. The concept is so simple, yet so ingenious: the collection consists of laser cut leather that is worn as a cuff or a flexible to wrap or buckle around a wrist, neck, or waste. The leather bracelets reveal the skin through the cut out shapes and the layering creates patterns of letter lace. The collection was produced utilizing local resources within Dubai.
The jewelry is an extension of Ebon Heath’s stereo.type project which explores the synthesis between typography and the physicality of our bodies and is truly a meaningful collection of typographic jewelry that transcends the traditional. And just like when BryanBoy gets excited anytime the Philippines is mentioned in the world of Fashion, I feel the same sense of achievement when Pakistan or Urdu is brought up, so imagine my delight to find out that come December 2009, Urdu will be added to the collection, and the jewelry will be launched in Pakistan?
