Elassaad
Brass and silver-plated jewellery by Elassaad takes a sculptural delight in its raw materials, using traditional lost wax carving techniques to produce adornments which bear an unmistakably human touch. Softly gleaming, with gorgeously chunky weight and considered proportions, each design suggests an unearthed treasure, waiting to become someone’s personal talisman. A truly curious soul, Reema Elassaad has immersed herself in many cultures, from Brixton’s art scene to a studio in Qingdao, to the ancient back streets and bazaars of Istanbul. Uncovering inspiration at every turn, she is particularly moved by Byzantine and Roman crafts and the religious and decorative motifs of traditional Turkish jewellery.
