Gorgeous geometric jewelry from Leah Singh! Each piece is directly inspired by Singh’s cultural heritage in India and the systematic grid layout of New York where she attended Parson’s.
From the artist: Our jewelry is made with bone, a by-product of abattoirs and the local farming industry of India. Bone began to be used as a craft material after the ban on ivory. No animals are harmed to obtain the bone.
