Metromix LA Blog

We're pathologically social. We're professional leisurists. We're burrito lovers, bar flies, art whores and music nerds. We dish the good dirt, and we'll risk a parking ticket for a cheap sample sale. Sometimes, we blog drunk.

Grenade launcher jewelry



I just interviewed awe-inspiring jewelry designer Jules Kim of Bijules NYC, who is creating far-out gold and silver pieces in the shape of ice picks, grenade launchers and dental retainers. Kim, who has diamond-encrusted teeth, is beloved by MIA and Gwen Stefani and other divas of infinite hotness. She told me how she's just cast a new piece from her recently-deceased aunt's false teeth. Here's what the 27-year-old East Village innovatrix said in our AIM  interview:

juleskim(10:03:33 AM): i paid ode to my aunt winnie by casting her false teeth and studding them with gems

juleskim (10:03:33 AM): its ok

juleskim (10:03:38 AM):  death is part of life

juleskim (10:04:04 AM): winnie used to take her teeth out and talk to my twin and i

juleskim (10:04:09 AM): gummin it out

juleskim (10:04:13 AM): f--kin hilarious

Look out for the full interview on the Metromix style page soon!!!
