NYC sculptor and art jeweler Christopher Ross’s wearable luxury art collection Animal Instinct is a series of animal inspired, limited edition pieces intricately crafted by the artist himself from antique sterling silver, 24-karat gold and Bohemian glass. Cleverly blurring the boundaries between art, jewelry, haute couture and luxury design, the sculptural belts make for unique, provocative statement pieces that bring the concept of animal art to the body. Empowering, eye-catching and original, the timeless statement pieces are an exploration of female animal instinct in sculptural form.
