Chained Necklace Timepieces

BLESS' Materialmix Necklace is Practical and Stylish

— May 14, 2020 — Fashion
BLESS is a brand that is recognized for its alternative design aesthetic and its latest design is the Materialmix necklace, which brings function to the jewelry. The most unique element of the necklace is that it is partially a watch that tells time. This perfectly merges function with fashion as it takes a repurposed gold watch from the Japanese brand Q&Q.

The quartz power timepiece functions with a simplistic dial and also has a rating resistant to water. On each side of the watch are two different chains that make up the necklace in an asymmetrical design as one side is silver and the other is gold. It measures out to be 12.5" in length before rounded out with a logo disc and lobster clasp.
