It is difficult to classify something like the Private Ice Necklace that does not express itself obviously as an item of jewelry. While it is made of a beautiful shiny brass, this is combined with a Corian component, and together they form a very structured shape that gives only a subtle hint about its intended purpose.
Marina Stanimirovic designs many unique objects of embellishment that all share a highly sculptural and often abstract quality. This double U-shaped contraption is quite consistent with her style, which brings visual intrigue and ingenuity to fashion. The two-part piece has a movable component that allows the Private Ice Necklace to fold and straighten. The trombone-tip pendant becomes quite a statement when worn with even the boldest of outfits.
