The Binary Felt Necklace is a statement in digital miscommunication using a stylized binary coding system that represents text, computer processor instructions, and data, using combinations of zeros and ones. These necklaces are laser-cut from felted wool and are lightweight to wear, equally elegant, and playful adornments that complement the wearer and intrigue the viewer.
