Piet Mondrian. Le Corbusier. Marcel Breuer.
If only they’d had the foresight to create jewelry.
Artist Pilar Olaverri takes their architectural
vision and runs with it straight to the catwalk.

namesake collection has the outsider appeal of African tribalwork, and the in-your-face look of more urbane designers. Her bracelets and rings fuse luxe materials — sterling silver or gold paired with woods of purpleheart, mahogany, zebra and ebony — in sculptural shapes you’d expect only to find in a museum. All of Olaverri’s jewelry is handmade in her New York studio, so every cuff and ring is one-of-a-kind. Trace your hand along the silver-and-wood cuff, and you’d think you were running your fingers along a piece of furniture. Slip a dyed white birch and silver ring on and you’ll feel like you’re wearing a piece of art. Show off your individuality by slipping on an Olaverri. You may not want to take it off.
