- Designer Profile and Comments -

Conventional jewelry cases were designed to store accessories in a concealed box.
However, if accessories were meant to be adorned and flaunted, isn't it a waste to hide them away in a box? This simple question is what inspired me to design a jewelry case that is meant to display its contents by wrapping, hanging or pulling jewelry through it\just as you would when you adorn yourself with it. Bend the ends to form different shapes for various uses. Not only can you place or hang your jewelry on it, but you can also use it for holding a pen or inserting a memo."GOONY" is more than just a tray\it's a metamorphic creature. How will you use yours?
