Half round Crystals by Katla Karlsdottir

BA 2019.
Smartphones contain a high amount of precious materials - copper, gold, silver and even more high tech materials such as sapphire glass and iron-bathed glass, to make them durable. But how durable are they?
…not much, compared to the life-span of jewellery and the raw materials listed above.
I have built a collection of jewellery by manipulating phone screens with heat and pressure to achieve new textures and surfaces that mimic the properties of precious minerals. Lustre, iridescence and facets have been forced from the flat screens to create new impressions.
