Undereye, from Wrinkle Jewelry collection

This is a Undereye. It was designed by Noa Zilberman.

This object is not part of the Cooper Hewitt's permanent collection. It was able to spend time at the museum on loan from Noa Zilberman as part of Beauty—Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial.

It is dated 2012. Its medium is gold-plated bent brass wire.

This ode to age and experience is held up like a monocle near the eye. Zilberman crafted the Wrinkles jewelry collection during her graduate studies at Israel’s Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design. The pieces follow the grooves that settle naturally around the eyes, mouth, brow, and cleavage—lines that Zilberman studied in her own body after the birth of her first son.

It is credited Gift of Noa Zilberman.
