Brian Crumley is an NYC-based jewelery designer whose latest collection “was inspired by the futility of the peace sign,” he explains, adding “it is also a reaction to the glamorization and ubiquity of guns, knives, and the such in our culture.” The pieces are made of sterling with gunmetal plating, and are an effort at reclaiming the symbolism behind such images.
“I wanted to render these symbols of aggression impotent and reclaim them as new symbols of peace,” Crumley says. “The drop of red is the last bit of blood being squeezed out as the gun is transformed.” You can find his work over at Crumley New York.
