Coba Bangle

Inspired by the popular antique arcade game 'Snake' and the later flashier version 'Tron', the Pixel collection is a comical reflection of our modern life. In the game, the player manoeuvres a line that grows in length. With the line itself being a primary obstacle, the player needs to chase the next 'apple' to get points and avoid running into itself. In reality, we all want to grow and succeed without 'crashing ourselves'.

From start to finish, there is no break for the player. The game finishes when we crash into ourselves, and this gives the player a sense of pressure and urgency because everything is moving, and when we grow, our obstacles grow simultaneously. If we take a step back and compare the game to modern life, we can see a comical similarity between the two.

Key Features:

• Inspiration. Drawing parallels between the endless pursuit in the game and our daily lives, the Pixel Collection reflects on the continuous chase for growth without 'crashing'.
• Design. Utilising semi-precious stones and hand-painted enamel, the collection presents an architectural and Art-Deco aesthetic, reminiscent of the game's pixelated graphics.
• Craftsmanship. Each semi-precious stone is meticulously selected by Edward Xu and precisely cut by skilled craftsmen, ensuring the highest quality.
• Artistry. The enamel work in each piece is hand-painted and polished to achieve a flawless finish, with colours inspired by Post Modernism art and structures influenced by Brutalist architecture.
• Uniqueness. Edward Xu's avant-garde approach and references to iconic art movements and architectural styles result in a distinctive and contemporary jewellery collection.

The collection uses a combination of semi-precious stone and hand-painted enamel to create an architectural and Art-Deco style of jewellery. Each piece of semi-precious stone is hand-selected by Edward and cut by our trusted craftsmen. Each enamel block is painted by hand and carefully polished by our artisans to achieve a perfect flashed finish. Edward also took inspiration from Post Modernism arts for the enamel colour, and he took references from Brutalist architecture for the structure of the jewellery, creating a truly unique and avant-garde style of jewellery.

All the pieces from EDXÚ are made with Fairtrade or recycled precious metal, and each piece of gemstone is set by hand in our London workshop.
