Gnoce aims to create unique, story-inspired jewelry pieces that allow customers to carry a piece of literary magic with them. Their goal is to transform classic narratives and artworks into wearable accessories, bridging the gap between historical art and contemporary fashion.
The British Library, as the intellectual property partner, provides access to its vast collection of historical illustrations and artworks. By collaborating with Gnoce, the library extends the reach of its cultural treasures beyond traditional boundaries, allowing the public to engage with literary heritage in a new, tangible way.
The collection draws inspiration from various Cinderella illustrations, including works by renowned artists such as Harry Clarke and Arthur Rackham. These masterpieces capture key moments from the Cinderella story, showcasing different artistic styles from various periods. The artworks range from intricate black-and-white silhouettes to vibrant, colorful depictions of Cinderella in her ball gown, each bringing a unique perspective to the classic tale.
The Gnoce Cinderella Collection features a variety of jewelry pieces that capture the essence of the fairy tale. Items include charms shaped like pumpkin carriages, glass slippers, and clocks striking midnight. The collection also offers pendants and other accessories adorned with scenes from the story. Each piece is crafted to incorporate elements from the original illustrations, allowing wearers to carry a piece of Cinderella's magic with them. Prices for items in the collection range from around $40 to $55, making these pieces of literary history accessible to a wide audience.
