How can a gemstone impersonate a natural scenery so well? may be not a coincidence after all..?
I like the idea of owning jewelry that isn't mass produced. Generally you don't "need" jewelry, you wear jewelry because you think it makes you feel unique, you build an emotion with your jewelry and depend on them to personalize your look. But how can that be achieved if your piece is worn by thousands of people that own the exact piece you do? The idea of Analogie is that every piece has a unique story behind it. Its never just a piece of jewelry, its a memory that is unique to you, and only you.
Analogie's latest collection is inspired by unworldly places on planet Earth. The idea is bringing those places into a piece of jewelry that you can own, which is normally not possible. Let's say you got to Turkey, at the Pamukkale hot springs, you bathe, you take pictures, you play games, but that's really all there is to be done. Analogie takes it a step ahead to give you the opportunity to own a wearable version of it.
