Thrifty Flavors: Max Steiner Design Cinder Block Necklace

I am not a big accessories person. I am not into jewelery. The only thing I wear is a watch. Watches are probably the only accessory that I can get into. But I want to focus on investing in property first before buying five-figures time pieces. I am digressing.

My point is that since I am not a big jewelery person; I don’t pay a lot of interest to said pieces but when a certain piece catches my eye like this kick-ass cinder block necklace from Max Steiner, it makes me a jewelery non-believer want to convert. And that is saying a lot.

Max Steiner is a jewelry designer, architectural model-maker, sculptor, product designer, and 3d modeler based in New York. He has been folding origami for most of his life and for many years has been drawing the complex geometric crease patterns that create the paper structures. His origami jewelry collection includes traditional origami folds created with precious metals in elegantly constructed mahogany boxes and stands.

His Cinder Block collection is made from actual cement. Yes, you read correctly. This cinder block piece is made from actual cement. It explains the visceral coolness that this piece exudes. A compound so widely used in our everyday surroundings – and now, you can wear a part of it on your neck.

This will be a conversation starter and with a wallet-friendly price tag, this is one necklace that is checking all the right boxes. Get this Max Steiner Design Cinder Block Necklace for US$60 at Max Steiner.
