Double Take: Twinkle Twinkle Little Skull
26-06-2007
Butler & Wilson £98 V Damien Hirst’s ‘For the Love of God’ £50m
Like the look of Damien Hirst’s diamond encrusted skull? Well, at a cool £50million you’d have to be feeling pretty flushed. Meanwhile, for the rest of us there is an alternative thanks to Butler & Wilson on South Molton Street, London, W1. Spotted in their current window display is a sparkly skull fest; pendants, tiaras, earrings and brooches all adorned with Swarovski crystals. Prices range from £18 to £128 so you can accessorize and leave the paranoia at home. Apparently the Butler & Wilson jewellery collection was not cited as the influence behind Hirst’s latest work entitled ‘For the Love of God’, a source said that the piece had been inspired by Aztec Art.
