The Design Perspective
This set features a deep emerald green magnetic cat-eye base that creates a shifting, velvet-like depth. The surface is heavily accented with hand-sculpted "molten" silver chrome frames and jagged vines, anchored by a prominent silver Fleur-de-lis charm and gothic cross details for a dark, edgy finish.
Source of Inspiration
Drawing from gothic revival architecture and Y2K cyber-grunge aesthetics, this design evokes the mystery of a midnight garden reclaimed by metallic flora.
