Jeremy May is an artist based in London, England. A landscape architect who designs and plans the layout of buildings and other structures, he has also been creating accessories since 2007, attracting considerable attention. The raw materials for Jeremy's accessories are old books. The books that come to him have all been through many people and places. He starts his work by roughly cutting out the center of a book. The resulting mass of hundreds of overlapping pages is then laminated and carved into the shape he envisions. Jeremy finds a memorable passage in a book and is inspired by it to come up with a design.



Once the processing is complete and the jewelry is beautifully transformed, it is stored in the hollow space of the original book, and the book itself serves as its case. Because each piece is handcrafted using old books, it is impossible to recreate an identical piece, and each piece is given a serial number. Jeremy's works are inspired by a combination of traditional craftsmanship, simplicity, and sensitivity, capturing the feelings, words, and legacy of books in the jewelry. Many people request custom orders in order to receive unique jewelry that allows them to "wear a story." According to the website, the brand is available in New York, Greece, and at Toi in Osaka, Japan. You can also contact Jeremy directly through the website to request a custom order.
