pharmaceutical jewelry

made by CAST OF VICES:

...Cast of Vices creative director Christopher Glancy and artisan jeweler Jay LeCompte (a.k.a. Jay the Jeweler) cast a critical eye on the culture’s obsession with self-medication and addiction, while admiring the inherent design of these substances in these effigies of the detritus that wreaks pleasure and pain in our modern world. “When our Rome falls, these will be our remains,” say the Los Angeles-based duo, “cigarette butts, pills, bottle caps. The fly symbolizes the stench of our addictions.”
