Morbid but lovely
Anna Schwamborn is a design student at Central St Martins in London and has worked with Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
“She has created a range of jewellery made with the hair and cremated ashes of a dead loved ones. The collection of objects contains post-mortem memorial pieces which include aspects of a deceased corpse, namely hair and cremated ashes. Human remains act as an important medium of remembering a passed away loved one and are some of the longest lasting and most individual natural materials. The objects are supposed to be worn close to the body of the mourner symbolizing a lasting physical connection between two individuals even after death. Furthermore this collection is supposed to remind the wearer on the fragility and appreciation of life and most importantly, acting as a keepsake.”
