Fossilized Dinosaur Bone Agate Baby Love Necklace by Belmacz

Fossilized dinosaur bone agate, 18 karat yellow gold, and oxidized sterling silver.
Unique, exclusive to Aspen Art Museum.

Refashioning ceremonial adornments worn by chiefs and patriarchs of the past, Belmacz creates a balance between weight, space and substance proposing powerful shapes carved out of precious and earthy materials. Muggenburg’s unique pieces incorporate antique stones, fossilised dinosaur bone, orbicular agate, one-off diamonds, trapiche emeralds and other fantastic materials. The vision behind Belmacz is to express the excitement and magic felt when working with the stunning natural, one-of-a-kind  materials made into contemporary gems. 

 Founded in 2000 by Julia Muggenburg, Belmacz is a trans*cultural composite combining the male adjective ‘bel’ (from the French beautiful), ‘maximum’ (the Latin root), and the sublime letter ‘z’ (part of the Slavic ‘cz’). Belmacz is a space of innovation; a site for cultural expression and polyvocal conversation, situated in the red-brick streets of central London’s Mayfair.
