Tom Binns Cardboard Jewelry

An old schoolmate of mine, Nikki G. has the fun privilege of working for jewelry maker, Tom Binns. Influenced by the Dada movement, Mr. Binns has been crafting jewelry that is often made of vintage pieces, since the early 80's. He has collaborated with famous folks like Vivienne Westwood. The first lady is a fan of his jewelry. I was interested to see that he just debuted his new line called "Get Real" crafted out of cardboard collages mixed with magazine clippings and attached jewels. This piece is a bit eighties-looking, but very clever. (via Refinery29 Pipeline)
