ニッキー・リードさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ニッキー・リードInstagram)「My personal favorite and one I will never take off. I’m so proud of this piece. This gorgeous ring is made with 14 karat gold that originated in computer motherboards, refined back to its original elements with the same properties as newly mined gold but without the negative environmental consequences. The enamel contains carbon black (soot) from the air. Earth friendly can also be beautiful, and sustainable can also be luxurious. When I was originally coming up with these wild ideas, I was met time and time again with advice from people to not highlight the fact that we are using pollution in these pieces. I was told it would turn people off, that it sounded funny, that it didn’t have a good “ring to it”. I feel just the opposite! I thrive on knowing that everything, pollution included, can be repurposed, redefined and given another chance to shine. One of the many tangible metaphors throughout. #bayouwithlove」5月3日 0時55分
