Elemental

MYKU creates revered timepieces from semi-precious stones using top-of-the-line techniques. Using a variety of onyx which features alternating layered bands of milky white agate and black formed through natural rhythmic crystallisation in volcanic rock, each dial is individually crafted by precise polishing of the top layers to reveal the beauty within, meaning no two pieces are ever identical. This timepiece is encased in a gold-plated steel case polished with a satiny matte finish, finished with a flat sapphire crystal and leather strap for sleek perfection.

Tetrahedron

The objective of this design was to integrate the sharp lines of the tetrahedron form to the organic shape of the human finger while still retaining the essence of this geometric shape. This was achieved by creating a complex non-linear geometry that remains simple in appearance. This sharpness was extrapolated by making most complimentary elements of the ring triangular in section, including the green tourmaline at its centre. The result is a visually striking yet ergonomic ring.

Giorno/Notte

Giorno/Notte born from the desire to innovate the traditional clock twelve hours and introduce a new reading of twenty-four hours.

Infinity

The fundamental building element of silver jewellery is the equilateral triangle and spatially, the tetrahedron. It can be found in the structure of many crystals and molecule models and combined into infinite spatial shapes. The tetrahedral structure with flexible joints forms various shapes of mobile adjustable jewellery. Despite the geometrical structure it gently follows the motion of a body. The illusion of infinite structures symbolically alludes to permanence. The gleam of the pyramidal peaks is highlighted by the embedded ground glass stones.

Susa Bird

Susa Bird Jewellery Set consists of minimal gold necklace and earrings which represent visual culture of ancient Iranians. Simple geometric form of pieces is aligned with modern minimal sense of aesthetics, but behind the form lies a story of years ago. What seems like a simple vertical line is in a closer look a bird, the very considered animal in history of Iran, repeatedly painted on dishes through historical periods. This design is inspired by the ones painted on Susa goblet. The form is also designed in a way to be vague and mysterious hence provoking the curiosity to discover its story.
