NATALIA BRILLI Leather Key Bracelet

The bracelet is crafted from black leather, shaped into the form of an antique key. The surface of the leather has a slightly glossy, hand-molded texture that mimics the rugged appearance of aged metal. A black leather cord is threaded through the key’s bow, looping around to form an adjustable closure

NATALIA BRILLI is a Belgian artist who previously worked as an accessories designer for Rochas, Céline, and Mugler. After her endeavors in fashion she transitioned to applied arts to create home goods and wearable art — our least favorite form of art and fashion… Yet, thanks to her impeccable leather processing technique, she managed to create a few beautiful pieces. We should not consider these as part of a cohesive body of work tho but rather as singular occurrences.

Regarding her technique: Brilli uses a leather-wrapping method from the 30s, where she conceals the underlying structure beneath a thin layer of leather which results in the most delicate, precise, and meticulously crafted jewelry and wearables. These creations were never mass-produced; only a limited number exist so they’re a great find for collectors of rare items.
