Bethan Laura Wood



London-based Bethan Laura Wood is the brain behind Link, a jewelry range made from sheets of 3mm birch ply. These chunky, hexaganol chains are practically a permanent fixture in Bethan's amazing outfits. Reminiscent of the b-boy bling of the 80s, the pieces are brought thoroughly up to date with the sustainable principles behind their design. Link embraces "the marks left by the process" by integrating the discoloration from the laser, inadvertently adding dimension and the illusion of stripes. Additionally, some links are dipped in neon, cerulean, and saffron paint, adding that whimsical club kid appeal I can't resist.

Link is available at The Good, The Bad, And the Ugly
85 Kenmare Street, New York, NY 10012, 212-473-3769
