Danish cool meets Argentinian artistry in a new collaboration between jewellery brand Elhanati and Conie Vallese. The partnership is the culmination of a longtime friendship between the artist and founder Orit Elhanati, who looked to a Gothic narrative for a jewellery collection inspired by the 1990s.
‘The jewellery served as the perfect canvas for Conie and I to unleash our artistic visions,’ says Elhanati (who has previously created art deco-inspired jewellery with Khaite, and Elhanati jewellery for men). ‘Silver's natural beauty, its robust lines, and expansive surface allowed us to express our creativity in a unique way. Unlike the pliability of yellow gold, which is easy to manipulate, silver is hard but tells a completely different language. It felt just right for this collaboration. Its reflective quality and lasting durability were perfect for the story we aimed to tell. By adding black diamonds and spinels, we incorporated additional elements of mystique to our creations, kind of enriching the narrative. “Jardin”, for us, seamlessly merges historical charm with contemporary design, offering a distinct expression.’
