Estelle Dévé

 

Estelle Dévé jewellery was established in December 2008.

French-born designer Estelle Dévé is quickly becoming one of Australia’s best and brightest jewellery talents. Since her debut collection, the designer has included an impressive profile of editorial support to a growing list of national and international stockists.

Now calling Australia home, Estelle’s work is regularly featured in some of the country’s more forward-thinking fashion magazines, Russh, Fallen and Oyster have been quick to notice her artisanal approach, while Florence Welsh and Susie Bubble, some of fashion’s most progressive public figures, are also staunch supporters of her designs.

From delicate, pewter-cast chains of gold to statement pieces of leather and resin, Estelle’s vision is both innovative and interesting. Her work, a reflection of personality and circumstance.

Paleozoic Dreams - SS12

Paleozoic Dreams S/S'12 takes inspiration from its namesake, referencing the Paleozoic era where the first sharks appeared on earth. Initial interest and further research into fossils, prehistoric artefacts and flints soon presented a serendipitous find of fossilized shark teeth that were approximately 3 million years old. This fossil provides the core focus for a nucleus of key pieces that juxtapose raw carnal beauty with clean, modern statements. Shark Teeth, miniature flints, neat little bricks and arrow heads feature side by side in a perfect balance, and finished with Estelle Deve’s signature texture that is inspired by well-lived, battered surfaces and rocks.
