A stunning piece of wearable art has been created by artist Mitxela, who designed a digital pendant that simulates the mesmerizing flow of liquid. The pendant, encased in gold, uses a grid of tiny lights controlled by a computer chip to create the illusion of light moving like water inside.
The pendant’s magic lies in its motion sensor, which detects movement and triggers the lights to mimic the natural sloshing and swirling of fluid. “I wanted to capture the beauty of fluid motion in something you could wear,” Mitxela explained on their website.
Crafting each pendant was no small feat. Mitxela spent weeks perfecting the design, combining intricate metalwork with precise electronics. Challenges included creating a seamless circular light display and designing a watertight brass case sealed with a watch crystal. The final product charges magnetically, lasts up to 10 hours on a single charge, and wakes up with a gentle shake when inactive.
Only ten of these unique pendants were made, as mass production was deemed impractical due to the extensive handcrafting required. “The goal wasn’t to sell it,” Mitxela said, “but I decided to offer some of the pieces I’ve already built.” Priced at £1000, each pendant reflects the countless hours of meticulous work invested in its creation.
This innovative jewelry blends art and technology, offering wearers a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
