Swiss designer Philppe Cramer had released a new series of jewelry designs inspired by sea creatures and the natural growth patterns of crystals. The “Sea Beauty” series uses creatures and other organic structure found in the sea as a source of inspiration. Jellyfish, corals and octopus form the main subjects, each executed in gold and silver finishes. In the “Virtual Crystal” collection, Cramer used computer generated algorithms to simulate the natural growth of crystals. Using these forms he developed a series of rings that pay homage to the crystalline formations found in the Alps.

Jewellery designer Denise Reytan created the timepeace watch to encourage the wearer to forget about time and enjoy life. The concept took the form of a watch that is made from a cut piece of stainless steel. The limited edition design comes in silver, gold and grey in both polished and semi-gloss finishes. The cut design in the steel is reminiscent of the early digital watches, with a small display and two button’s on the side. More over, the design is representative of the watch’s more aesthetic role in today’s digital age, taking that idea one step further into abstraction.
