Charmed by Cast of Vices Uppers + Downers
Cast of Vices Charm Bracelet
A+R Venice neighbors Christopher Glancy and Jay "the Jeweler" LeCompte walked into the shop last fall and immediately had us hooked...on their carefully crafted, weighty sterling castings of pharmaceutical pills, bottle caps, cigarette butts and flies. Since then, they've expanded their Cast of Vices collection to Collette in Paris and a handful of other select shops worldwide. But A+R continues to work with these two charmers closely, including on this diabolical bracelet a client specially ordered for a Christmas gift. We all thought it turned out so beautifully that the boys decided to add it to the Spring collection.

Nice bracelet. Awesome art work on this. Great use of pills, cigarette butt and flies.

snapshot of the moment
Mathieu Lehanneur is inspired by interactions between nature and the human body. In fact, he says his favorite word is "human," in a "chemical and alchemical sense." This sculptural post was presumably a coat hanger. But those pretty well be some fantastic coats hanging off this piece.
