Maaike Evers and Mike Simonian – designers behind
MikeandMaaike.com browsed through some of the world most famous & expensive jewelry photos, they ‘stole’ some of the low-res images, doctored, then transferred to the leather medium, creating a tangible new incarnation.
With the expense and intricacy of the jewels stripped away, their essence and visual intensity are extracted, and printed to create these pixel-like “jewelry”. Simply amazing work!
