Jewellery with a difference - Icarus and Co

 
     I love finding interesting pieces of jewellery that are innovative but also practical, and sometimes it means looking abroad. With Icarus and Co you get the amazing with the practical but also a piece of jewellery that you wont find on everyone else.

"The Origin of Icarus - from Ancient Greece unfolds the story of the cunningly creative inventor Daedalus and his son Icarus, who were banished to the island of Crete. In attempting to escape, Daedalus constructed wings out of feathers and wax. He cautioned his son to take heed of the sun's overwhelming heat, but the destructively adventurous Icarus flew too close, melting his fashioned wings. Reckless exploration lead to his eventual demise, as Icarus plummeted towards the sea. His spirit rests forever at the bottom of the ocean.

Inspired by the ill-fated adventurer, Icarus & Co. creates jewelry using the earth's and the sea's natural materials and designs.

Krys DeMauro and Caroline Mullen are the founders and creators of Icarus & Co"
