A PORCELAIN STATEMENT.


I tried to google statement necklace: you can find as many as you want, huge, colorful and sparkly and sometimes maybe too much. But here's another way of talking about this kind of jewelry. Can you find anything better than this?
Andres Gallardo's necklaces left me speechless at the first glance. Porcelain flora and fauna put together in such a feminine yet absurd way. This collection of horses (my favorites!), tigers, flowers and pretty little bunnies combines metal, leather and crystal fragments with porcelain figures that have been reworked and set into whimsical, nature-based jewelry pieces. Porcelain figures are broken and repolished by hand and then assembled into subjective and sometimes surrealistic compositions. 
P.S. the prices are not that crazy expensive, have a look at the online shop here.
