gur kimel: nature preserve jewelry

‘nature preserve jewelry’ by gur kimel acorns in 24K gold and silver 925

‘nature preserve’ is a jewelry collection by tel aviv-based designer gur kimel, that integrates mementos and motifs from hills in jerusalem, european forests and scandinavian villages. depending on the season, each piece tells a different story based on the location from which they are conceived. the combinations between natural elements found gold or silver produce a thrilling contrast—the movement of a silver acorn in it’s wooden shell, the complex shape of a pecan, the pinecone’s natural position on a golden branch, all highlight the intricate detail from organic occurring creations.
