Uniform Object’s New Jewelry Collection Centers on the ‘Carbon Form’
The “Carbon Form” collection explores the contrast between high and low materials, using rubber cord alongside 18-karat gold and gemstones.
Uniform Object’s “Carbon Form” collection includes one-of-a-kind pieces featuring unusual diamonds styled with structured rubber cord as seen with its “Carbon” torque necklace and bracelets above.
New York—Uniform Object has taken a darker, deliberate shift in its design language with the release of its “Carbon Form” jewelry collection.
It explores the genesis of carbon as both a medium and material through the collection’s 36 pieces.
The collection is anchored by two ideas—restraint and durability—and is defined by the contrast and interplay of high and low materials.
The duality between the range of materials is a study in tension, said Uniform Object, as it uses Italian-made elastic cords paired with 18-karat yellow gold hardware and rare natural gemstones.
There are a variety of “Carriage” pendants featuring champagne diamonds, Paraíba tourmalines, emeralds, and white diamonds in Asscher, old mine round, cushion, and triangular brilliant cuts.

A “Carriage” pendant with a 2.49-carat cushion-cut emerald set in 18-karat yellow gold with rhodium plating and accented by 0.48 carats of round diamonds ($37,000)
The contrast between highs and lows is seen in pieces like the one-of-a-kind “Carbon” bracelets, which use structured rubber cord and center on usual diamonds.
Uniform Object said the concept for the design of these bracelets was inspired by a 3.71-carat novelty-cut pear diamond set in 18-karat rose gold with black rhodium plating.

A “Carbon” bracelet centering on a 2.25-carat cushion-cut champagne diamond set in 18-karat yellow gold with a rubber cord and 0.20 carats of diamonds accenting the clasp (price upon request)
It uses rubber cord as the band of the bracelets to offset the stone’s organic character.
“I have always loved the idea of pairing very important stones with a material that felt industrial and casual,” said David Farrugia, co-founder and creative director of Uniform Object, who has been working on using the elastic cord material since 2024.
“Through much trial and error, we found the perfect balance of substance and statement.”
This can also be seen in the “Carbon” torque necklaces that Uniform Object styles with the “Carriage” pendants, though they can be paired with most of the brand’s chain offerings.
The necklaces also use rubber as the main material with an 18-karat yellow gold clasp that is accented by round diamonds.
The rubber “Carbon” torque necklace with 0.67 carats of diamond accents on the 18-karat yellow gold clasp ($14,950) styled with a “Carriage” pendant of a 3-carat shield-cut champagne diamond accented by 0.51 carats of round diamonds all set in 18-karat rhodium plated rose gold with yellow gold hardware ($85,000)
The rubber “Carbon” torque necklace with 0.67 carats of diamond accents on the 18-karat yellow gold clasp ($14,950) styled with a “Carriage” pendant of a 1.80-carat pear-cut Paraíba tourmaline ($65,000)
The hero piece of the collection is the Carriage pendant showcasing a 3-carat shield-cut champagne diamond set in 18-karat rose gold with black rhodium plating.
Uniform Object said the stone’s tone is intensified by the rose gold setting and darkened bezel.
“I have always been fascinated with this type of treatment, but was waiting for the right moment to incorporate it into Uniform Object,” said Farrugia.
“Typically, it gives contrast to white diamonds, but when I saw the opportunity for blackened gold to enhance the color of a colored diamonds, I knew we discovered something new.”
The Carbon Form collection’s offerings can be split into two sections, the mixed material pieces seen above and the pieces below that focus on a chain motif.
The “Power Metal” pieces are solid, substantial, and unapologetically heavy as they use 18-karat yellow gold and continue with accents of rhodium plating for rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets.
Across this section, stones are bezel-set in darkened metal to alter how light interacts with the piece as well as intensify the tone and depth through contrast.
The “Power Metal” hoops in 18-karat yellow gold featuring round diamonds totaling 1 carat set in rhodium-plated gold ($19,500)
The 18-karat yellow gold “Vessel” tennis necklace with 2.29 carats of round diamonds set in rhodium-plated gold ($27,500)
The “Power” stack ring in 18-karat yellow gold with 1.10 carats of round diamonds ($28,950)
The Carbon Form collection’s necklaces, pendants, bracelets, huggies, studs, hoops, ear cuffs, and rings retail from $6,900 to $90,000.
The collection is available on the Uniform Object website and at retailers including Net-a-Porter, Elyse Walker, Bergdorf Goodman, and Hirshleifers.
