About
A one-person atelier in Brooklyn. One bench, one magnifier, and far too many trays of Swarovski.
The Stoned Aesthetic is a one-person atelier in Brooklyn, NY, run by Vinny Belmont. Every piece is hand-set, one crystal at a time — no contractors, no shortcuts, no two pairs alike.
The work started in 2020 with a single AF1 and a tray of Swarovski borrowed from a costume designer. Several years and a hundred-plus commissions later, the bench is the same; the pieces just got more honest.
The studio.
One bench. One magnifier. Far too many trays of Swarovski Crystallized. Everything ships from the same Brooklyn address — no warehouse, no fulfillment, no in-between.
The work.
Every pair is numbered, signed inside the tongue, and shipped with a certificate of authenticity, a care card, and a small envelope of spare crystals in case life happens.
If you're commissioning, the brief starts here. If you want what's already on the bench, look here.
"Trying to give you something different."
