Pencil Collection by Costis Receives Iron at A' Jewelry Design Award

Sculptural Bracelet Transforming an Everyday Pencil into Fine Jewelry Earns International Recognition

COMO, CO, ITALY, July 16, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award has announced Pencil Collection, a bracelet created by Greek jewelry designer Costis, as a recipient of the Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category. The A' Design Award is one of the world's most respected and well-recognized accolades in the field of jewelry design, evaluating entries through a rigorous, blind peer-review process. This recognition acknowledges Pencil Collection as an accomplished example of good design that meets the professional and industrial standards established by the A' Design Award. The distinction places the work within a body of internationally reviewed jewelry creations celebrated for their craftsmanship and originality.

The recognition of Pencil Collection holds relevance for the wider jewelry industry, where the elevation of familiar forms into wearable art continues to resonate with collectors and design professionals. By reinterpreting a common object as a refined bracelet, the work reflects a growing appreciation for narrative-driven and sculptural jewelry. The design aligns with industry standards through its careful attention to comfort, proportion, and the integration of precious materials. For wearers, the piece offers both an expressive statement and a comfortable fit, demonstrating how thoughtful design can unite aesthetics with practical wearability.

Pencil Collection brings out the beauty of a pencil, an object that may appear humble yet serves as the medium of Costis's creativity. The bracelet slides through the hand and rolls comfortably around the wrist, with careful study devoted to the volume of a rolled pencil and the distance between its two meeting edges. Distinguishing characteristics are faithfully recreated, including the writing tip and the end of the graphite, with the graphite point rendered as a specially cut ruby. The result is a blend of aesthetics, originality, creativity, and plasticity, achieved through resin prototyping, fusion, finishing, hand stone-setting, and rhodium plating, with each volume and proportion refined in Rhino modeling software.

The Iron A' Design Award recognition may serve as encouragement for Costis to continue exploring the transformation of ordinary objects into extraordinary works of art. The distinction reinforces the studio's commitment to sculptural design and meticulous craftsmanship, supporting future collections that observe and reinterpret the surrounding world. This acknowledgment offers motivation for the continued pursuit of innovation and artistic expression within fine jewelry.
