Sara Ferrari has designed the XCIX_Y bracelet to last 99 years, and express the age of its user...

Inspired by the the rings...

From Sara Ferrari:

Twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, important steps of life, moments to remember. Our body changes together with our taste and our interests. XCIX_Y changes with us and it can express our age in many different combinations. The inspiration comes from the trees and the calculation of their age through the number of rings in the trunk.

Every single piece is different, there are 18 in total, 9+9. The wooden pieces, made of walnut represent the decades, from 10 to 90. They are decagons, expressing their self as decades and they have roman numbers as a mark to recognize them. The red plexiglass, translucent and light, indicates the years in between, from 1 to 9. The plastic pieces also have incisions, this time they are circles, one for the piece representing the first year of a decade, 2 for the second, 3 for the third et cetera.
