Eight-Bit Jewelry

 

For many thirty-something men, the madeleine that contains all of childhood’s memories is made by Atari. Sakurako Shimizu, Japanese artist, curator and designer of conceptual jewelry based in Brooklyn, New York, has designed the perfect ring for the eight-bit generation. The “1981 Atari Ring,” is a precise cast of the original Atari computer chip in 18k gold.  He also makes it in silver.  The ring could also be engraved with an initial or maybe even a portrait of Pac-Man.
