Cast of Vices creators, Christopher Glancy and Jay LeCompte, headed east to the desert and great plains with no other intention than to get lost. They both returned with a found appreciation of their surroundings and a handful of turquoise stones; a stone rich in wisdom and spiritual journeys, noted for absorbing negative energy. Cast of Vices releases a special limited edition collection of 100 turquoise pieces for Holiday 2010.

Born from a desire to create artifacts out of our vices, Cast of Vices celebrates the inherent design aesthetic of these substances while casting a critical eye on pop culture and our obsession with self-medication and addiction. When our Rome falls, these will be our remains: cigarette butts, pills, bottle caps, and coke bags.

The collection is hand crafted in the U.S.A. with solid .925 sterling silver, semi-precious stones, and 14k gold by using the lost wax process.

Available at A+R Store & American Rag Cie

Born from a desire to create artifacts out of our vices, Cast of Vices celebrates the inherent design aesthetic of these substances while casting a critical eye on pop culture and our obsession with self-medication and addiction. When our Rome falls, these will be our remains: cigarette butts, pills, bottle caps, and coke bags. The fly is a reminder of the stench of our addictions and can be a companion to any piece.



Cast of Vices new Collection No. 3 continues to explore the semiotics within contemporary culture and their effects on our modern ethos. Cast of Vices adopts a brighter palette in the new collection by means of hand cut, natural, semi-precious stones and crystals.

The collection is hand crafted in the U.S.A. with solid .925 sterling silver, semi-precious stones, and 14k gold by using the lost wax process.

That is of course just seeing the pieces and not the reasoning behind it. All I saw was jewelry that has claimed the lives of more than enough people in our culture in this past year. It didn’t seem edgy as much as it seemed really relevant to our times, to our past, present, and future. I recently had a chance to speak with Christopher Glancy, creative director of Cast of Vices (and Bodega Prints) about where the company is coming from and where he wants to go with it. Whether you agree or disagree with the company I feel that you cannot deny the relevance of their pieces nor the quality. It is for that reason that we welcomed Cast of Vices as our newest brand on our online shop ACCESS.

”I just want to create something that perhaps enhances your daily life and surroundings.” This is what you said about Bodega, do you feel like Cast of Vices is another way of doing this?

I’d like to think that Cast of Vices is sharing a vernacular with Warhol’s Soupcan or Koon’s Inflatibles. We are giving our own point of view on objects that have permeated our society and had a huge impact on it with out us even acknowledging it. Bodega is about enhancing your surroundings; I think Cast of Vices is more about calling attention to what we may be sweeping under the rug.
