PICO DE BOTELLA
GLASS JEWELLERY COLLECTION
by LUISA RESTREPO, México, 2016-ongoing
RINGS and PENDANTS
MATERIAL: recycled glass bottles, cut and faceted, metal cord
In this collection Luisa uses high-quality wine and spirit bottles to create her jewellery, a series of rings and pendants, some faceted, some cut and left plain.
It is a beautiful up-cycling project, using waste to create new sparkling gems.
Luisa Restrepo, is a glass artist and designer born in Colombia and now working in México. After concluding her studies in Medellin and later in Wolverhampton, England, she founded her studio, “El taller” in México City in 2005. Her work examines rhythm, pattern, proportion and excess. She moves from objects, to installations and performance and strives to use different mediums and means in the understanding of the material and how we transform it and relate to it.
