Kristine Caniza is a jewellery designer who's work I discovered on Behance. She has hundreds of creations named 'Customised Packagings with Swarovski Crystals' - though I couldn't find a link to purchase or commission so I wonder if these are made purely as a hobby/form of expression.
The items are usually creating using food/household packaging, making the ordinary extraordinary.
There is irony in making such basic, everyday items bejewelled in such a fashion. It is the ultimate kitsch and banality to a tee. There is no doubt that this work would take hundreds of hours to create and require immense patience. I also considered the cost, as even resin diamantes and crystals can be expensive at such a volume. This work reminded me of Jeff Koons.
