GRUN_O is a jewellery brand that reimagines electronic components—commonly associated with household appliances—into distinctive pieces that merge traditional and industrial aesthetics, a style described as “industrial ethno.”
Inspired by ethnographic studies, GRNOLN references the heritage of coral necklaces, treasured during Cossack times:
“In those days, people wore 'good necklaces' or 'red necklaces'—coral beads in various sizes and shapes, often layered into one to six strands, and sometimes even more.”
Resistors with their rich burgundy-brown tones evoke the appearance of vintage coral beads, forming the foundation of many designs. These strands are made from repurposed radio components, paired with materials such as wood, amber, and crosses. The crosses, crafted in Cherkasy, are modelled after the ornate designs of Poltava crosses from the 18th–19th centuries.
GRUN_O creations reinterpret traditional jewellery motifs through unconventional materials, drawing inspiration from the layered elegance and simplicity of 19th–20th century women’s attire. These influences form the core of the brand’s unique aesthetic.
