Conor Joseph / Jewellery Designer from London Making his Rings Bleed

“I am about to go to war and I hope I’ll never see you again” sings Erykah Badu, golden blood slowly rolling down the corners of her lips. Blood-dripping lip accessories and ear cuffs, bold skin textured rings – these creations are not for happy kids who are about “good vibes only”. Conor Joseph, a gifted twenty something fine jewellery designer based in London is the creative mind behind these pieces. His work represents an ongoing shift in our relationship with wearing accessories. To put it simply – the relationship has changed, confusing the heck out of those, who were always told to keep their bling safely stored until those very special occasions. And god forbid, do not ever mix silver and gold! Well, forget all that. by VIKTORIJA BENAITYTE photos KAROLINA HUBNER
