thirtyfour dipped.two

June 24, 2011 Comments (1) Fashion Like

I’ve always been a big fan and loyal supporter of thirtyfour,
with their rings and bangles part of my daily t0-wear collection.
Last Thursday was the launch of dipped.two,
a collaboration between Nini Ramlan and Shuennkee consisting of
18 one-off pieces of handcrafted precious metal & stone.

This be Nini.

I’m just gonna copy what she said in the cards given out at the event
cos noone can explain the collection better than her.

“I stay true to the concept of designing what i would wear and together with design collaborator Shuenn Kee, we wanted to design accessible statement pieces.

“… For dipped.two we wanted to try out the concept of “collecting” jewelry,
seeing them for its character and personality.
We want women to start collecting unique things,
individual to them.

“The collection features one-offs of fancy cut stones dipped in gold!
In terms of design, it’s pretty geometric which i think was due to the nature of our stones but it’s also soft in a sense that we used a lot of draping.
We played with fancy cut stones we bought from India
and different kinds of chains mixed and set in shiny rose gold and yellow gold.
We want women to get into the idea of wearing stones differently
and we made it a point to offset our designs,
wearing stones on the sides, letting it hang loose and dangle.

“It’s got an air of sexy to it,
where the chains drape and the jewels are seen tumbling on the skin.
It’s definitely not for the traditionally inclined.

Rings are priced at RM850 (available for pre-order)
and necklaces are one-offs priced at RM1,390-RM2,470.
I arrived a bit later than i expected,
and saw that almost all the pieces were reserved before the event had ended!
How fantastic for them..!
