One fan calls Ben G the Master of Elements. “I call my style Urban Techno Primitive”, he says. “I feel in touch with many time periods from ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman eras to the Pop Art movement of the 60s, into the future and other galaxies.” Some objects appear to be magical artifacts from an archaeological dig while others could be from an alien planet’s treasure chest. Regardless of the influence, the look is all about letting the wearer show a truly unique and free expression of themselves. Be bold, be radical, be free when you wear Ben G Celebrate life and glow with the flow.
Ben G dares you to question what is precious in the world of jewelry. After all, paintings and sculptures with a raw material value of a few dollars have sold for millions. If a piece strikes your fancy, it is priceless. Now stretch your imagination and let the work captivate you. Wear it and take it for a spin. We think you will be transported to a new place that expresses a vibrant and adventurous self.
THE WORK
The jewelry is 3D printed at Ben G’s studio out of a plant-based polymer called PLA. This substance is durable, lightweight, waterproof and hypoallergenic. What’s more, it is a renewable and sustainable resource. All jewelry and textiles are signed with the Ben G logo to confirm it is an original art piece by Ben G, and making it authentic and collectable.
