The Folds Jewelry collection is beautiful enough even without the knowledge that each piece in it is crafted using photographs. A nostalgic accessory line, the series feels like a modern take on the traditional locket. But instead of wearing a photo around your neck, you can wear an abstract form of it on your finger and wrist too.
Designed by Lital Mendel, the Folds Jewelry collection allows you to carry memories with you wherever you go. Therefore, it becomes less of an adornment and more of an extension of you with every second you wear it. A poetic sentiment, I love how the Folds Jewelry collection looks like origami art as well. Therefore, the photographs actually become more art than album, allowing them to remain a subtle secret.
