The idea of wearing a piece of accessory inspired by human innards may seem morbid, but the Organ Jewelry collection shows that doesn't have to be the case. The shapes may be modeled after the lungs, stomach, kidney and more, but they are abstract and simple enough that they could pass for anything. Unless told, only the wearer would know that he or she is wearing Organ Jewelry. Of course, a doctor may be able to make the connection.
Designed by Budapest-based IVANKA Studio, which was founded by Katalin Ivanka and Andras Ivanka, the Organ Jewelry collection boasts pendants made out of concrete. According to their profile on Vespoe, "Its endeavour is to create desire by envisaging distinctive designs and to execute them with the background of an organized technological drive."
