Own a Little Part of the Guggenheim

Are you a fan of the Guggenheim Museum?

Then you’re definitely going to want to check out this unique jewelry!

During the 2007 restoration of Frank Lloyd Wright’s modern masterpiece—the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, pieces of the museum were saved.  The Gunite or concrete crumbles have been set into resin and made into jewelry.  Jewelry designer Cara Tilker has designed the unique suite of jewelry, for both women and men.

Each piece of jewelry contains an original piece of the museum, finished with sterling silver to make a modern and very wearable piece of jewelry.  The resin must be poured by hand into molds, and then each piece of concrete set into it.

You can view the complete collection online in the Guggenheim Museum store, but here are a couple of my favorites:

Two piece necklace

Bezel Earrings

Adjustable ring

You can also special-order select pieces from the jewelry collection in 14kt gold.
