ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Every jewellery piece is inspired by a specific building or architect, creating a unique dialogue between the jewellery piece and the detailed scale of the architecture.
SLOW FASHION
Our brand draws upon a principal of made-to-order limited editions and exclusive pieces, allowing for a more sustainable process and waste reduction. The use of precious metals contributes to the opportunity of converting non used silver into something new, while the packaging is mainly formed by recycled materials made out of cotton and food waste.
MEET THE DESIGNERSofia Esquivel has a background in Architecture and Set Design, and it was in London where she lived for the last 7 years, that she first had contact with silversmithing, leading her to study handmade jewellery techniques. Her professional experience since day one has led her to thrive among multidisciplinary creative areas, having worked for several years in a collective of artists and designers ‘ studio, creating comissioned sculptural and interactive artworks.
