When heavy metal meets high fashion

When heavy metal meets high fashion

Designers from Milan to New York are reimagining utilitarian elements into everyday jewellery staples. Whether it’s Cartier’s signature screws or Marla Aaron’s pulley charms, the world of hardware is being dipped in gold and encrusted with diamonds. This trend reflects a broader cultural movement towards the unconventional, where function meets ornamentation, and industrial grit becomes a thing of beauty.
