Monique Péan, homage to art and dinosaurs

Published on February 5, 2022

A designer, Monique Péan, who is inspired by an artist, one of the main exponents of the artistic current called Land Art, Walter De Maria. The result are collections of gold jewels with clean, simple, but also sculptural shapes. But without losing the distinctive trait of the brand founded in New York in 2006, just 15 years ago: respect for the environment (it uses only sustainably extracted metals) and a socially responsible attitude. And not only that: the designer also uses very unusual materials, such as dinosaur bones, walrus or mammoth teeth.

For her style, just three years after her debut, Monique Péan received the prestigious CFDA / Vogue Fashion Fund Award, with former Tiffany CEO Michael Kowalski as her mentor. Péan, who grew up in the Washington DC area and graduated with a BA in philosophy, political science and economics from the University of Pennsylvania, is a great lover of art. She and she were impressed after seeing, in 1979, the work of a multidisciplinary artist like Walter De Maria. And she also decided to dedicate a line of jewelry to the late artist. The First Lady of the United States, Jill Biden, wore Monique Péan’s earrings on the occasion of her husband Joe’s inauguration in the White House.

From mammoth’s bones to walrus teeth: the rarest nature is Feral’s raw material ♦ ︎

A jewel made with a bone of mammoth is no longer a novelty. But maybe it’s a Utha gold coated pine cone. Or an old stalactite of hundreds of thousands of years made in slices to be transformed into a necklace or bracelet. Susan Oster founded in Los Angeles his Feral, jewelery brand with, no doubt, a original style. But, let’s get clear right away, it’s not an extemporaneous initiative of a young design promise. Instead, Susan Oster has a long design experience, but applied to interior furnishings or graphics. “I grew up in a house full of antiques, where reorganizing furniture was a family sport,” Susan said.

After studying at Carnegie-Mellon University and the Ucla School of Architecture and Interior Design, Susan Oster worked with stylist Barbara Barry. Then, in 1997, he founded Susan Oster Design. Until the jewels, which in 2017 debuted at Las Vegas Jck. In addition to diamond embedded in elk horn and fossil tricheco teeth (but still with diamonds), Feral also propose also exotic jewelry made with amber and gold.

Bibi van der Velden, from beetle wings to e-shop

Published on January 12, 2017

Showroom

Collections made with mammoth ivory and beetle wings, but also a shop online dedicated to the trendy designers: the news by Bibi van der Velden.

How about gold jewelry, adorned with ivory comes from the prehistoric mammoth tusks? And of earrings made with delicate beetle wings? Surprising is the definition that befits the new collections of Bibi van der Velden (we have already spoken here). The Dutch designer does not follow the traditional paths and creates really unusual jewelry, not only to the original form, but also for the elements used. How, exactly, the ivory of the ancestors of elephants or insect iridescent wings revered by the ancient Egyptians. Jewelry that cost around 2,000 to 6,000 Euros, and which also are made with gold and precious stones such as diamonds and sapphires. In short, it is not strange craft, but the real high-level jewelry, but chooses the path of a refined eccentricity. But even stranger, in a world full of envy and pride like that of jewelry, is the commercial initiative of Bibi van der Velden, who opened an online shopping, auverture.com, which houses the jewels of others trendy designer, as Delfina Delettrez, Noor Fares or Lydia Courteille. We can not say anything other than: chapeau. Giulia Netrese
