An artistic jewelry exhibition by Nasim Etemadi opened on Friday at Golestan Art Gallery in Tehran.
The show features 47 bracelets and rings formed like little molded bronze and glass sculptures, Honaronline reported on its Persian website.
Each piece of jewelry has a unique design. The rust and roughness of Etemadi’s rings are similar to old objects from archeological excavations. The event will run until July 11.
The trend of using jewelry in the arts was pioneered by sculptor Parviz Tanavoli and his art students in Iran five years ago. So far, several artists have made wearable art out of jewelry, inspired by various themes from old architecture to pop culture. Wearable art refers to individually designed pieces of (usually) handmade clothing or jewelry created as fine or expressive art.
The gallery is located at No. 34, Shahid Kamasaei, Darrous neighborhood.
