bioceramic jewelry, brunch bangles
in collaboration with ByWayOf, 2024

1.webp

This limited edition set of bangles was created in collaboration with jewelry studio By Way Of, combining architectural forms with experimental materials.

Made from Atelier Barb’s in-house bioceramic — a composite of eggshells and coffee grounds sourced from a local bakery — each bangle is hand-shaped and finished without the use of industrial tools. The material is bound using our plant-based formulation, developed to be durable, tactile, and fully biodegradable.

Traditional bangles are often made from plastic or acrylic. This project rethinks that logic, offering a familiar object through unfamiliar means. The result is a wearable form that carries both texture and responsibility.

Bioceramic Bangles are produced in small batches and available in limited numbers. Each one is a study in process, memory, and mindful ornament.
