Shaped as a bottle opener, the bracelet created by Vika Tonu reimagines a familiar gesture of celebration. Its handle is crafted from a pioneering material derived from upcycled waste from the wine industry, developed by the Portuguese studio Matter. The spiral, rendered in gold-plated brass, evokes timeless traditions and festivity. Through the symbolism of wine - an enduring presence at gatherings - the piece transcends ornamentation, reflecting connection, sustainability, and the rituals that bring people together.
