Abraxas Rex

Abraxas begetteth truth and lying, good and evil, light and darkness in the same word and in the same act.
-Carl Jung's The Seven Sermons to the Dead

Abraxas is summum bonum and infinum malum in one,
at once.
Rex is the Latin word for king.

And Abraxas Rex is the jewelry line of Brooklyn artist Paris Kain. It has me weak at the knees. It's bold, sincere and raw. It's futuristic, ancient, astral and organic all at once. Bulky diamonds in the rough are dangling by fragile gold thread, big angular cuffs are adorned with tiny diamonds at the sharp edge of a pyramid peak. Each piece is inspired by the Gnostic religion and the legend of Atlantis. And some of them, I'm told, holds stones from outer space...


Shot a pic of Paris on my way out from his trunkshow. Love his stance and her scarf in the picture. Felt fedora, tan suspenders, silk. Old world glam.

Mmmm.... excuse me.
