Elo Collection

The Elo Collection is inspired of my grandmother’s crochet.
Grandma Vina was an infamous seamstress and taught for Singer.
Her love seasoned everything she touched, from food she cooked to her creative projects, which was how she gave her heart to others.
I was never able to crochet, even when she tirelessly tried to teach me, the stitches just didn’t seem to want to hold themselves when looped together.
But that was because I was not meant to use thread.
I was meant to use gold.

Macrame Elo collection was designed to hold any object of affection that carries memory.

Macrame is an art form that is ancient. It belongs to all humanity. In its loops and connected threads the word macrame means “fringe” in Arabic. This shape has been used for centuries and my interpretation of it is through bars of gold that connect at the joints.

Which is what makes it stand apart from any other design that may have inspired within the same art of weaving.

Each bar cast individually then strung together to create cradles that were meant to hold imperfect minerals and now a new collection of crystal sculptures, briolettes and pearls.
