Designer Discovery: Ishi Glinsky

Edited by Andy Wass

About two years ago Ishi Glinsky began designing jewelry to help fill the void in the world of men’s accessories. Now ONE FOUR FIVE ONE is a full-fledged jewelry line.

Initially, he fashioned the pieces out of found objects. Now he still maintains the collage look by combining regular jewelry elements (chains, stones, beads) with antique objects. The end result fuses stylistic influences of pirates, dadaism, and Native Americans.

In addition to hand-making his pieces, Glinsky recently had an installation of larger-than-life versions of his chains at the BPMW showroom in downtown L.A.’s Cooper Building.
