Old books and newspapers, in addition to the yellowing paper texture, also have a special smell of time travel. However, some books are just left there. It is common for "books" not to be scanned by visitors. In view of this, Jeremy May decided to re-publish old books into sparkling jewelry.
Jeremy May, an artist living in London, was inspired by second-hand bookstores during his travels and embarked on his magical journey of "turning old books into gold". First, he carefully took out hundreds of pages from the book and stacked them tightly. Then, with his skillful hands, he shaped them into small ornaments. But of course this was not enough! Finally, they had to be aged. Old cuticles are worn away, leaving you with shiny, smooth and dazzling skin.
Images and texts obtained from books are cleverly transformed into modern and fashionable rings, bracelets and necklaces; colorful layers and patterns are transformed into charming curves and textures. Wouldn’t it be special to return these unique and highly crafted pieces of jewelry to their place of origin?
Eager to own these bookish jewelry? Jeremy May currently sells related jewelry through his website and cooperates with specific merchants around the world. In addition, from now until April 24th, the jewelry he designed can also be seen at RR Gallery in New York, USA!
