Luminous Interactive Jewelry from Kyeok Kim
Korean designer Kyeok Kim does not exaggerate when she says that her jewelry makes a deep impression – after all you’ve never seen such jewelry. Even in daylight her rings, bracelets and brooches look unusual, but at nightfall they begin to glow, creating mysterious glowing patterns on the body.
The principle of Kyeok Kim jewelry is quite simple. Within each accessory there are LEDs, and the surface of the jewellery is covered with small holes of intricate shapes.
In the darkness or dim light diodes begin to glow, projecting different patterns on the skin. Each ornament, made of copper and covered with a thin layer of white gold, can change up to three colors of light. And if necessary, a ring or a brooch can always be recharged – from a laptop or PC.
The designer Kyeok Kim says that she was interested in increasing the understanding of jewelry: from the tangible – to the intangible. Therefore, her collection (which, by the way, is called “Aurora”) can be considered conceptual.
Perhaps this is the beginning of a new trend in the manufacturing of jewelry – interactive decorations. According to the designer, her ornaments are on the border between fashion and jewelry, art and science, design and craftsmanship.
Kyeok Kim claims that she draws inspiration for her normal daily life, trying to make our lives more emotional. The cost of jewelry from her first collection ranged from 300 to 450 dollars.
