DISCOVER AELITA JEWELLERY
Aelita Jewellery is an award-winning contemporary jewellery brand from the UK.
It focuses on elegant gold crochet jewellery that is carefully made by hand. Each piece is unique and celebrates an endless potential of a textile technique used in contemporary jewellery making.
By celebrating crochet as a textile technique within the realm of contemporary jewellery making, Aelita Jewellery appears to have carved out a niche that sets it apart from more conventional jewellery brands.
This attention to detail and the craftsmanship behind each piece could make Aelita Jewellery especially appealing to those who appreciate the intersection of handcraft, elegance, and timeless designs.
Aelita Galevska's background as a professional Jewellery Designer-Maker and her training at the School of Jewellery in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter provide valuable context to the brand's origins and its unique approach to jewellery design.
By establishing Aelita Jewellery in 2019, she has been able to share her distinctive vision with the world, offering individuals the opportunity to own and wear pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also carry a sense of artistic integrity and individuality.
The combination of formal training and personal creative exploration likely contributed to the development of Aelita Galevska's innovative approach to using gold crochet as a technique in contemporary jewellery making.
“‘Crochet has always taken a special place in my heart and takes its roots in my soulful childhood when at the age of 11 I was shown how to make textile table mats.
Starting to crochet metal came rather naturally to me, while ‘hands-on brainstorming’ at the university, and since that, it became a technique I enjoy the most.
Through the FINE CHOCO collection, I explore and admire the deep true essence of luxurious simplicity and timeless craftsmanship of crochet.”
We source our materials at well-established and trusted local businesses in Hatton Garden (London) ensuring the best possible quality and collaborative work with the local jewellery community.
This practice of personally selecting materials adds an extra layer of value to the brand's creations.
LOST AND FOUND IN THE SEA
Aelita's expansion into a seaside collection of cast in sterling silver pieces, named 'Lost and Found in the Sea,' adds a new dimension to her brand's offerings.
This collection's inspiration from the seascape of her birthplace adds a personal and meaningful touch to the jewellery line.
The concept of being "Lost and Found in the Sea" evokes a sense of nostalgia, connection to nature, and undeniable beauty of the Mother Nature.
“‘The ‘Lost and Found in the Sea’ is a celebration of memories of my sweet home; my little charming city by the sea, my endless early morning and late-night solo walks, my smiles and tears, my dreams and fears.’ ”
