Jewellry as art?

Seems everywhere I go these days there are fabulous necklaces - draped around the necks of glamorous women, or installed as art in equally glamorous interiors.

I spotted these two beauties by Swiss artiste Mattia Bonetti in his new book...




These two fabulous pieces are by designer Jean-Marie Othoniel, who I think is responsible for the pearl necklace installations in the Chanel stores worldwide (please, correct me if I'm wrong). The second image is from a Parisienne apartment decorated by Jean-Louis Denoit...






I thought this necklace inspired light fitting by Dutch designer Rosalie de Kruyf was kinda fun...


And thought this piece by artist Penelope Batley was interesting...


So if a necklace becomes art, what's next? Earring inspired lighting?

    ... That's actually Jean Michel Othoniel (not Jean-Marie)...
    And yes for his work at the Chanel stores
