Why do you accessorize? If it's for the pure pleasure you derive from your own possessions, the Invert jewelry collection might be just for you. Alternatively, perhaps an owner of such unusual pieces is more interested in making a statement about shallow popularity of material things.
Either way, this assortment of rings, necklaces and earrings is beautiful and avant-garde in the way that it expresses the industrial beauty of its forged metal. One might not even realize at first that there are princess cut diamonds embedded in each of Melany Wimpee's pieces.
The settings for the lustrous stones are arranged opposite to the convention. Every example of Invert jewelry is embellished on the inside or the back so that a view of the gems is nearly impossible. Only the wearer might know that they're there.
