Statement by the Jury
The Element Collar differs from traditional chokers and necklaces because it makes use of a predominantly industrial material such as carbon, turning it into a piece of jewellery that is as lightweight as it is elegant. The interplay between dark and light elements over the curved surface attracts attention and underlines the aesthetic value of the carbon. Due to the ergonomic shape of the concave planes, the Element Collar is comfortable to wear.
