A YEAR IN THE LIFE OF T.O.P. - is a survey of our projects from 2011.
The Opulent Project is a conceptual jewelry and design studio based in Portland, Oregon. We embrace a collective approach to promote the individual practices of emerging jewelers through themed collections and projects. We organize traveling shows as well as site specific projects. We investigate opulence within the context of our society's obsession with owning objects. We seek to subvert mainstream preconceptions regarding value in material culture. To do so we are constantly questioning and considering where these ideologies originate and examining ways to intervene with the established visual language.
