Jewelry designer Johanna Toernqvist makes bracelets out of cast-off packaging materials, while Elvire Blanc Briand finds inspiration in pastry-making techniques. The results can be seen in the book New Bracelets (Promopress), edited by Colombia-born jewelry designer Nicolas Estrada, which features more than 400 pieces from 200 artists. Writing about her work, Nora Tengely asks: What if we picked jewelry not in accordance with sight, but with other senses ? Her bracelets are named after sensations that they mimic, like a caress bracelet made of brass and feathery polyester and a tickle bracelet that consists of five balloons tied to a brass circle. Steven Parker's Egyptian Bracelet --made of vermeil, lapis lazuli, enamel, brass, steel and quartz--contains stylized hooded cobras and hieroglyphics that contain a riddle. Gigi Mariani also looks back millennia with Stonehenge, a ring of six prehistoric-looking blocks whose dark surface hides silver and yellow gold. Other artists bring a sharp sense of humor. In Body Museum by Wei Si of China, a thin traditional bracelet comes inside its own boxy glass display case, which is also part of the jewelry.
