PUNKⒶDELIC: Redefining Jewelry with Art and Philosophy
In an exciting development for the art jewelry sphere, the new brand PUNKⒶDELIC has officially launched, spearheaded by a seasoned director who has been with JUSTIN DAVIS for over two decades. This innovative jewelry line aims to merge thought with aesthetics, creating pieces that not only adorn but also convey potent messages.
PUNKⒶDELIC’s debut collection, themed 'What God Means to Me,' begins with a fascinating concept derived from the imagination of soldiers who have laid down their weapons to embrace music instead. The collection infuses vintage toy aesthetics into its design, while maintaining intricacy in the construction of musical instruments. The standout piece, the 'Second Coming Cross Pendant,' symbolizes the return of Jesus, merging the essence of over-a-century-old antique rosaries with a meticulously crafted guitar, thus crafting an exceptional item that illustrates the fusion of past and present.
The name 'Second Coming' references the biblical concept of Jesus's return, incorporating the weathered appearance of antique elements while showcasing finely made guitar elements. Each piece is designed to be a unique testament, bridging traditions and modern artistry. For instance, the 'SECOND COMING Pendant' priced at ¥104,500 and the 'MOM&DAD SNAKE CHAIN Necklace' for ¥52,800, exemplify this elegant approach.
But PUNKⒶDELIC doesn't stop at aesthetics alone. Bold motifs like the anarchy symbol, peace sign, and machine gun infuse their pieces with a statement of resistance against war, emphasized by bullets embedded in crystals that reflect on the pain inflicted on others returning to oneself - an eloquent expression of the brand's ANTI-WAR stance. This passionate message is further showcased in intricate designs, such as the 'MY WAR/TRUE MEANING Pendant' at ¥126,500 and the 'ANTI-WAR Earring' at ¥37,400, where craftsmanship meets profound ideology.
The distinct features of the jewelry extend to practical considerations, too. The bullet keychain design exemplifies the easy-removable yet secure nature of the earrings, ensuring style does not compromise functionality. Moreover, the 'LOVE TERRORIST Earring' bridges creativity with practicality, allowing the wearer both style and comfort.
Among the collection, PUNKⒶDELIC also introduces a dove pendant representing freedom and peace, intricately designed to present a guitar-playing scene on its reverse side, reflecting the joy, hope, and love intended for its wearer. Priced at ¥17,600, this piece embodies the sentiment of everyday protection as well.
Moreover, the juxtaposition of a machine gun transformed into a guitar motif captures the spirit of energy and music, while the chain incorporates details reminiscent of a shield cable, showcasing a commitment to finely crafted jewelry. This level of attention to detail allows a unique atmosphere to resonate through the pieces, creating a blend of music and fashion that is engaging and refreshing.
Starting July 24, 2025, PUNKⒶDELIC will be available through the HOUSE by Jack of All Trades showroom and online store, making these conversation-starting pieces accessible to a broader audience. Visitors to the showroom can find it in the heart of Shibuya, Tokyo, at 2-28-11 Sendagaya, with operating hours from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM, closed on weekends and holidays.

PUNKⒶDELIC emerges not just as a brand, but as a movement that transforms the way we perceive and wear jewelry – turning accessories into art that speaks volumes about the wearer’s beliefs and values. With an inspiring philosophy and an unyielding commitment to artistry, PUNKⒶDELIC stands poised to change the landscape of how we view and conceptualize jewelry.
