Vote for "Japan" February Challenge Entry

Kris from KrisDesignsFSP, internal vote winner of our "November Circles & Squares" challenge chose the theme for our February 2013 challenge.

JAPAN


The theme guidelines were as follows:

Japan has a most exciting culture.

There is a distinct division between past and future: ancient traditional values with their strong rituals, art forms and language on one side, versus the crazy dazzling fashion modernity, neon colors, and plastic kitsch on the other side.


Pick ONE of these two styles to create a piece of jewelry that shows the important criteria needed to convey either the traditional or the modern Japan.

OR: combine both styles into one piece accentuating the contrasts! 
 


Voting for for this challenge  is on February 9th - 15th.

PLEASE VOTE ONLY ONCE FOR YOUR FAVORITE ENTRY

    While every single one of these pieces is absolutely a winner, I made my vote for the one that seemed most Asian in its execution to my eye.
