Style The Ultimate Accessory

Posted By Heather Kenny on 02.16.10 at 08:12 PM

Olympic medals aren't really jewelry. (Although I can imagine some great reworked pieces using the medallions.) But the wavy disks in this year's design make me think of records left out too close a sunny window.

I do like the underlying design, of an orca (for the Olympics) and a raven (for the Paralympics). Each one is unique, taken from two artworks by Canadian artist Corrine Hunt.
