Touch This Jewelry, and Watch It Move
Briefly

The Contrast Club, a Helsinki-based jewelry brand, introduces the Lepidoptera Collection, which includes elegant 18-karat gold rings, earrings, and bracelets designed to respond to touch. Inspired by the gentle movements of moths and caterpillars, these interactive pieces feature intricate mechanisms that create movement without requiring batteries or electricity.
