Honey, you’re a shooting star: my new jewelry designs

Jun 9, 2019 | 0 comments


 

Today is the day where my latest designs for Stilnest have launched, and I’ve been so excited for you guys to get your hands on them! I’ve already been teasing a bit about the designs on my Instagram and I can’t get enough of them. As a sidenote, I wanted to let you guys know that we’ve updated the Quality & Production page of the shop – so now there’s a lot more info about the materials we use and how we make sure the production is as ethical as possible.

As you guys know I’ve worked as a designer in the clothing industry, and I never thought I’d have a chance to design jewelry. But I love it so much, love the jewelry and the thought of being part of changing up that industry, and I like the thought of keeping one foot in the door of the design business too. You can read more thoughts behind the Scandinavia Bound collection right HERE.

I dag er dagen hvor mine seneste designs for Stilnest går i luften, og jeg har glædet mig så meget til, at I kan få fingrene i dem! Har allerede teaset et par gange om de nye designs ovre på Instagram og jeg kan slet ikke få armene ned over dem. Vi har i øvrigt opdateret undersiden Quality & Production – så nu står der lidt mere info om hvor materialerne vi bruger kommer fra, og der står lidt flere detaljer om hvordan produktionen foregår etisk vis.

Som I ved er jeg uddannet tøjdesigner, og havde aldrig set mig selv komme til at designe smykker. Men jeg elsker det, elsker smykker og vil gerne udfordre denne branche, og så er det er skønt at holde en fod indenfor designfaget på denne måde. Du kan læse lidt mere om idéen bag Scandinavia Bound som kollektionen hedder lige HER.



Shooting Star

The new designs that we’ve added to the collection is called Shooting Star. I wanted to add some pieces that were a bit more edgy, and I’ve always loved stars of all kinds. I also wanted to keep within the whole mix & match approach, which is already a huge part of the whole collection. Therefore, I’ve designed the new Dune Hoops with the idea of you being able to wear them plain as they are, or add different pendants to personalize them. We’ve added a little “stopper” on the earrings, so you don’t have to worry about the pendants falling off. And I love the fact that they are twisted because that way they blend in seamlessly with the existing jewelry in the Scandinavia Bound collection. My Starling ring and the classic Dune pendants have this same twisted effect. I’ve been wearing the earrings every single day lately, and I feel like they are such an easy and effortless way to instantly look more chic.

De nye designs der er kommet til kollektionen hedder Shooting Star. Jeg ville gerne lave nogle smykker der var lidt mere rå, og jeg har altid elsket stjerner i alle afskygninger. Desuden ville jeg gerne holde fast i mix & match konceptet. Så derfor er de nye Dune Hoops designet sådan at du kan skifte mellem de forskellige vedhæng, eller bære dem helt plain som de er. De er designet med en lille ”stopper” bag på, så du ikke skal være bekymret for, om vedhænget falder af. Og så synes jeg det er en fin detalje, det der med at de er twistet så de blender fint ind med de eksisterende smykker i kollektionen. Min Starling ring og de klassiske Dune vedhæng har nemlig også den her twistede effekt. Jeg går med øreringene hver eneste dag, og jeg synes det er en dejlig nem måde, at se lidt mere chic ud uden at det kræver det helt store.



Besides the earrings, I’ve designed a matching Shooting Star necklace and a bracelet. Everything is available in 14c recycled solid gold or silver, so you can choose the material you like better and that fits your budget. As before you can mix and match gold and silver if you like, and if you don’t feel like going all in on one material. I love the new Shooting Star pendant combined with the round Meadow pendant in the same necklace. Speaking of that pendant, as a new thing we’ve made Meadow available for engraving now! So again, you get to personalise the pieces even further with a letter on the plain side of the pendant. There are so many ways you can put together a combination of jewelry, that you love the most.

I actually had a set of silver Shooting Star necklace and bracelet send to my sister as a surprise, because she’s been going through a really rough time the past year or so. I wanted to send her something special, to let her know that I’m always thinking of her. She loves these pieces as well, and I love the thought of us wearing the same ones. Everytime I look down at my bracelet, I think of her.

I hope you guys are as excited for the new designs as I am! I’ve gathered some tips on styling up jewelry in the video below, if you’re keen.

Udover øreringene har vi designet en halskæde med Shooting Star vedhæng og et Shooting Star armbånd. Alt er desuden tilgængeligt i ægte, genanvendt guld eller sølv, så du kan vælge det materiale du bedst kan lide og som passer bedst til dit budget. Som altid så kan du jo mikse og matche guld og sølv, hvis du ikke synes du vil investere kun i guld. Jeg synes også det nye vedhæng er super fint sammen med f.eks. det runde Meadow vedhæng i samme halskæde. Meadow vedhænget er i øvrigt blevet tilgængeligt så du nu kan få indgraveret et initial på bagsiden, hvilket jeg er super begejstret for også! Der er så mange måder man kan sammensætte lige præcis den kombination, som man bedst selv kan lide eller er i humør til.

Jeg fik faktisk sendt et sæt med Shooting Star halskæde og armbånd afsted til min søster som en overraskelse, da hun har været igennem en lidt hård tid det sidste år. Jeg ville gerne sende hende en kærlig tanke. Hun er så glad for de nye smykker, og jeg kan godt lide tanken om at vi bærer de samme. Hver gang jeg ser ned på armbåndet på mit håndled, så tænker jeg på hende.

Jeg håber I er ligeså begejstrede for de nye designs som jeg er! Jeg har samlet lidt tips til smykke styling i videoen nedenfor, hvis I er hooked på dét.
