Each piece is made in solid gold or silver and meant to last forever—acting as a sort of IRL, wearable time capsule.about the ways in which their Lower East Side neighbourhood has inspired their designs and how they make their jewellery sustainable.Shelby: They’re really an embodiment of our own style and really random. [The designs] are what we wanted to see made into jewellery, and that we now have the power to make ourselves.
Shelby: I get really inspired by the Lower East Side, Little Italy, and Chinatown. There’s so much to look at and see. Chinatown is such a huge inspiration for us. We walked through there today and there are so many things that I want to go back and photograph. Just the color schemes of everything right now I’m really into. We were at the pasta shop and I sent a photo to Elise and she was like, ‘Oh my god, we should make a tortellini charm.
Shelby: And for things like the earrings Elise is wearing, the mermaid studs, we’ll go and handpick the pearls. If it needs a gem, it will go to the gem setter. Shelby: We want it to feel really natural. If people like it, hopefully they do, and if not maybe it’s just not for them.Elise: A lot of it comes from being a small company and the core of the sustainability aspect for us is the materials. They’re all recycled.
