An Elementals jewel is simple, but not elementary. Indeed, as often happens, the simplest things are the most intelligent. In this case we are talking about gourmette chains, the classic, eternal, balanced interpretation of intersecting rings. But it is a type of jewel that Salima Thakker, with over 20 years of experience in the world of high jewelery and founder-designer of Elementals, has extensively remodeled. Starting from the material with which they are made: Galuchat leather together with 18-karat white, yellow or pink, or white gold-plated sterling silver, rose gold-plated copper, yellow gold-plated brass, but also stones such as agate. All combined through a 3D printing process.
Bracelets and necklaces are fully customizable. You can choose between different materials and combine the chain. Galuchat leather, or stingray, is a material that uses fish scales and derives from the surname of the French craftsman Jean-Claudio Galuchat. He was the master craftsman of King Louis XV, the first in Europe to develop the process for obtaining this type of leather (18th century). The fish are harvested throughout South-East Asia, but come mainly from Indonesia, the result of a long tradition of non-industrial food fishing and therefore a by-product of this practice which wastes nothing.
