The Wick Culture - Jewellery ‘Bitten’ Biscuit Pendant, Gavin Turk x True Rocks

Jewellery ‘Bitten’ Biscuit Pendant, Gavin Turk x True Rocks

Art meets jewellery – via the humble rich tea. Gavin Turk’s famous biscuit first premiered as limited-edition artworks at the 2006 Art Car Boot Fair, after the artist bit, signed and framed an original rich tea. Echoing the Duchampian ‘readymade’, it was intended as a celebration of the cultural history of Britain and its quintessential obsession with tea-drinking. Eight years later, the now-iconic work provided the inspiration for this collaboration with jewellery brand True Rocks – which reimagines the ‘bitten’ biscuit in gold, silver or bronze pendant form. For art- and tea-lovers alike, this is one to wear with pride.
