This Is What Jewelry Inspired by Physics Looks Like

From far-flung destinations to iconic moments in history, designers often call upon a wide range influences when creating their collections. For Victoria Cho and Astrid Chastka, the duo behind jewelry brand Metalepsis Projects, inspiration comes from three fields in particular: art, architecture, and science. They've created what they call "exploratory conceptual jewelry," which translates to sleek, amazingly cool baubles with fascinating backstories.
Take for instance, the brand's "orbital" collection, which is "inspired by molecular compositions and the physics of sound (such as the frequencies and wavelengths)." We won't claim to fully understand these concepts, but what we do know is that this forward-thinking jewelry is truly stunning. Don't believe us? We've rounded up a few of our favorite pieces for your shopping pleasure.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
