Louis DeCicco and Mari Ouchi didn't set out to create jewelry; their goal has always been to make you think, to make you talk. Juxtaposing the precious and the banal, DeCicco and Ouchi have been challenging the status quo as FAUX/real since 2009. By employing humor, surrealism, and any other method they find necessary, FAUX/real seek to blur the lines between art, design, and fashion.
