For The Birds

This bold series of necklaces by Rus for SKAPA merges primal energy with modern craftsmanship in a stunning fusion of art and instinct. Each piece features a resin 3D-printed bird skull pendant, some finished in bronze or gold tones, symbolizing transformation and the delicate balance between life and decay.

Strung with an array of real bone, artisan stone, and eclectic handcrafted beads, these striking designs bear a raw and untamed spirit. Many of the distinctive beads originate from artisan supplier April Moon, whose unique materials perfectly complement Rus’s boundary-pushing creativity.

While this series stands apart from Rus’s usual style, it fits seamlessly into his evolving body of work—a fearless exploration of nature, form, and innovation that challenges convention while honoring craftsmanship at its core.
