Elie Top, the creative mechanism between the Seventeenth and 3D technology.
It is one of the new names of the jewelry, but is already talked about him. Because it’s hard to forget Elie Top: his jewels have the rare advantage of being completely different from the others, without incurring the sin of bizarreness. He began his career in jewelry design with the legendary Loulou de la Falaise to Yves Saint Laurent, to work then with Alber Elbaz at Lanvin. Well, as always it happens to the creative people who have something to add, he now is out on his own. Everything is produced in France, but without ignoring the more advanced techniques, such as 3D. In fact, her jewelry is a masterpiece of engineering. The collection Mécaniques Celestes, for example, is inspired in part by the astrological clocks of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, with rotation of the discs elements that reveal previously hidden elements, such as the central sphere diamond-studded ring in gold and silver (price: $ 13145). The idea is to play on the concept of open / closed. She loves working with hard gemstones and semi-hard, as labradorite, rock crystal, chalcedony, tourmaline, citrine, quartz. It’s a largely aesthetic aspect linked to the jewel plus the desire to accumulate precious materials. If you like her jewelry, Elie Top opened a boutique on the rue Saint-Honoré, Paris. But you do not think it’s a jewelry store like everyone else: look for yourself. Lavinia Andorno
