Mondrian Jewelry

Mondrian Jewelry

Mondrian Jewelry is an innovative collection of wearable art pieces that translates the iconic geometric abstractions of Piet Mondrian into contemporary jewelry designs. Created by Croatian artist Diana Sokolic, this sophisticated collection comprises brooches, pendants, and necklaces that faithfully interpret Mondrian's distinctive aesthetic vocabulary of primary colors, black lines, and white spaces through the medium of laser-cut acrylic plates, rubber components, and silver-tone chains. The collection, which earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, represents a thoughtful intersection of fine art and wearable design, demonstrating how modernist painting principles can be transformed into three-dimensional decorative objects. Each piece in the collection maintains the essential balance and proportion of Mondrian's neoplastic style while adapting it to the functional requirements of jewelry, featuring both short necklaces with magnetic clasps and longer variants connected by silver-tone links. The designs, measuring 80 x 80 x 6 millimeters, are crafted through a precise laser-cutting process that ensures clean lines and accurate color blocking, essential elements of the Mondrian aesthetic. The collection stands as a celebration of Bauhaus principles and modernist design, offering bold statement pieces suitable for both male and female wearers. The designer's background in fine arts informed the meticulous research process, which involved careful analysis of Mondrian's original paintings to determine optimal proportions for translating two-dimensional compositions into wearable three-dimensional forms, resulting in pieces that honor the artist's legacy while creating a new category of art-inspired jewelry.
