In addition to the Ice Jewelry by the same designer mentioned in the previous post, here are more temporary jewelry made out of other unconventional materials:

The whole point of this Temporary Jewellery collection, according to Katharine Ludwig, is to emphasize that wealth, beauty, and status, things that are usually associated with jewelry, disappear (or dissolve) easily when they’re not being taken care of.

The water soluble yarn necklace looked appealing to me… that is, until I found out it was made out of water-soluble yarn.

More eccentric/philosophical pieces in her site. Check out the Organ Bottle accesories (water bottles shaped like human organs - stomach, kidneys), Sugar bowl and spoon (yes, they’re made out of sugar!), Memory Scarf, and the Pigment shirts (which are kind of cool, really!).

A new concept in jewelry making, Katharina Ludwig presents the Ice Jewellery Collection. These are your regular silver and gold jewelry but instead of mounting diamonds or other precious stones on them, you put ice. Real ice. Melting ice.

The following are photos and descriptions taken from Katharina Ludwig’s site:

If water itself is worn as a jewel the preciousness of water is enhanced. Put on the body it will melt by the body warmth. What will stay is just the core of it and the marks the ice leave at your skin.

Ice Earrings:

One with pigments, which leave traces on your clothes, while the earring is melting, the jewel appears on your shoulder instead on your ear.

The other one gathers a bit of water after melting in a little cup

Ice Ring

A ring with a stone out of ice. When the stone melts in contains some drops of water in a cup.

Ice Necklaces:

A chain guided in a special way and frozen into ice cubes and shapes, melted the chain extends to its full size.

Ooooo-kay now… why do you have that look on your face? The look that says “ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS?!”? Hmm?? Hmm??

So imagine how long the necklace chain will be after that whole block of ice has melted. Or how wet your shirt will be after those earrings have melted. Or how crinkly your fingers will be after that ring has melted… So many problems about this concept and I can’t even think of ONE reason why I would like to buy it. Will YOU buy this if it were to be made available in the market?

…I would love to try and get ear piercings again. You see, I’ve already had 4 failed attempts, acquired some sort of infection each time I’ve gotten used to not wearing earrings but seeing little pairs of heaven like these makes me want to try getting my ears pierced again:

Boo!

How about having a hamburger or a bowl of chocolate hanging around your neck? Or mini-cakes clipped in your hair? These handmade polymer clay accessories by alicepleasance makes me want to have all kinds of food clipped, hung, tucked, and pinned all over me.

I’m hungry now.
