Acne Jewellery Capsule Collection with Husam El Odeh

Starting from mid March 2011, Acne will launch an exclusive jewellery capsule collection at thecorner.com, the online boutique showcasing a selection of cutting-edge fashion and accessories for men and women through dedicated mini-stores.

The Metalized shell collection exclusively conceived for thecorner.com is based on the Spring/Summer 11 Seafindings Jewellery collaboration between Husam el Odeh and Acne.

“When we first talked about collaborating with Husam about two years ago, I recall saying that I was hoping for an ongoing exploration, a relationship rather than a one night stand. Our collaborations have definitively developed into a creative love affair. There is no one I’d rather work with on this exclusive project for thecorner.com.”

“For thecorner.com we wanted to give the romanticism of seaside findings a bit of a graphic edge. The luxurious materials keep a rawness juxtaposed with inserts and clean lines. It is an exercise in two materials, cold hard metal and warm soft shell, both picking up elements from one another. All pieces are handcrafted in London and individually unique as every piece of shell is hand-carved.”

The collection consists of five styles including earrings, cuffs, double rings, rings and bangles. Every piece comes in a numbered edition of between 5 to 25 depending on style and material. They are all handmade with individually carved seashells on a base of either silver plated brass or solid sterling.
