The necklace is inspired by Frank Gehry’s architectural language and represents an attempt to translate his sculptural forms into a wearable object. The composition is based on Walt Disney Concert Hall—its complex, fragmented geometry and fluid metallic surfaces were conceptually «deconstructed» into individual elements and reinterpreted within the jewelry’s structure. This deconstruction allows for the conveyance of Gehry’s characteristic dynamism, asymmetry, and sense of motion.
An important element of the concept was also adopting Gary’s approach to materials: in his architecture, he frequently works with non-traditional and industrial materials, revealing their expressive potential through form, light, and texture. Following this logic, the necklace utilizes modern, lightweight materials—high-quality optical acrylic and jewelry resin. These allow for complex geometry, transparency, and a characteristic light effect without weighing down the form, while maintaining a sense of purity and expressiveness.
The color palette relates to his architectural works, which feature a shimmering, almost living surface reminiscent of carp. This inspiration formed the basis of the palette: rich orange and yellow tones, realized through iridescent elements, create an effect of reflected light and visual depth.
Thus, the necklace becomes the intersection point of architecture and jewelry art: massive forms are transformed into an intimate object, while retaining the expressiveness, plasticity, and emotional dynamism characteristic of Gary’s work.
