WHY WE MAKE JEWELLERY

For ZLR Betriebsimperium, jewellery is an excellent means of communication to raise public awareness on issues of consumerism, terrorism, pornography, spirituality, animal rights, historical consciousness, environmental policies, identity and the destructive politics used to treat the "Greek crisis".

We love the experience of playing and experimenting with materials, of combining synthetic trash with vintage precious stones or use industrial techniques along with traditional hand work.

ZLR Betriebsimperium jewellery is made of plastic, textile, aluminum foil, tin, paper, etc.

You can find more information and selected jewellery pieces for sale in our >SHOP section.
