Moons - Eco Friendly Jewelry Design that is OUT OF
THIS WORLD
19 Moons limited edition jewelry is an eco-conscious line by Pittsburgh
based creatrix Niffer Desmond. Niffer's diverse background spans
fifteen years in assemblage art, animation and jewelry design.
Inspired by re-use, machinery and DIY culture, her unique designs
integrate these concepts into fashion.
Says the artist "I find inspiration everywhere both in nature
and the manmade. Organic forms like birds or rocks are on equal
footing with perfect circles and squares of type-keys and clocks.
Anything that visually sings! I also like the idea of giving old
technology new life, appreciating it for its beauty as much as
its former function."Indeed the natural and mechanical are
juxtaposed in interesting ways in her designs, largely in the vein
of Steampunk fashion. Most everything used is vintage and repurposed,
becoming wearable art. Says Niffer; "Steampunk is basically
a vision of technology of the future through the lens of the 1800’s,
as seen in the literature of Jules Verne, H.G. Wells and others.
My interpretation has it's own twist- using anachronistic technology
and natural forms to create emblems and creatures of the fantastical
realm."
