Description

Chitiner has only ever produced jewelry, which, as a result of the smaller form-factor, allows Ten to give meticulous care to each design choice. However, by choosing to make a belt, Ten amplified the complexity of the process—from designing and molding to assembly, distressing, and curing. The production was so intensive, that Ten had to pause all other operations to finish the piece.

About
Chitiner's pieces literally incarnate nature's intrinsic beauty—they incorporate decaying beetle remains in their material composition.

Each of Chitiner's jewelry pieces is unique, due to the discrete nature of its materials.
