A US based jeweler Cast of Vices has come up with an interesting collection of pieces inspired by society’s vices. It’s unabashedly provocative and we kind of love these designs! The collection features vices from all corners of the dark side: from luxury xanax to blunts on a silver chain. Would You dare to wear your secret vice on your neck? The collection is hand crafted in the USA with solid .926 silver sterling silver and 14k gold by using the lost wax process.
We wouldn’t be surprised to see this on a few hard partying rock stars. We aren’t going to name names … And while we are in no way at all going to condone the glamorization of prescription drugs, from a purely artistic perspective we think the collection is worth a mention. Philosophically speaking it also sheds a light on this generation’s pop culture in an interesting way. In a society where nothing is taboo, where do we draw the line?
“Cast of Vices celebrates the inherent design aesthetic of these substances while at the same time casting a critical eye on pop culture and out obsession with self-medication and addiction. When our Rome falls these will be our remains, cigarette butts, pills, bottle caps, and coke bags.” – Cast of Vices
