"Charm bracelets have a distinctive jangle and a particular flare. It's different from keychains, bangles, or stacked necklaces. It's light, ethereal, eclectic, and often wispy, but when moved slightly, the curated collection of charms knocks together to produce a seductive tinkling, glinting in the sun. The AVGVST Berlin x Crosby Studios collaborative jewelry capsule - by Natalia Bryantseva's AVGVST Berlin and Harry Nuriev's Crosby Studios - comprises an eclectic smattering of (mostly silver and a few gold) pieces celebrating traditional objects: cutlery, household items, and electronics, to name a handful."
"The creative synergy is focused on the ready-made tradition - or what Nuriev calls "Transformism" - turning everyday items, familiar artifacts, and the typically mundane, into striking pieces of artful jewelry with subtle irony. Small but mighty, the charms take center stage as the collection's hero in the 16 Trinkets Bracelet. Otherwise, pendants may be hooked on a chain or earring, and placed wherever you desire."
The AVGVST Berlin x Crosby Studios collaborative jewelry capsule reimagines ordinary objects as wearable charms, primarily in silver with occasional gold accents. The pieces reference traditional cutlery, household items, electronics, and nostalgic items such as Tamagotchi and cassette tapes. The designers adopt a ready-made, ‘Transformism’ approach to elevate mundane artifacts into ironic, artful jewelry. Charm-centric pieces like the 16 Trinkets Bracelet act as focal points while modular supports—hoop earring, flat chain, and bracelets—allow pendants to be layered across rings, cuffs, collars, and bags. Distinctive named pieces include the Glasses - Comb - Heels Ring, 7 Trinkets Bracelet, and Hand - Brush Earring.
