Born in south of France 25 years ago, and now a recent resident of Melbourne, Estelle Dévé has always been interested in jewellery and its different forms of interpretation. Self-taught, she just launched the fruits of her second chapter in jewellery design.
A ruthless medley of science fiction fantasy and tribal nuances, “Lunar Mare” utilizes the luxury of leather, crystal clear resin and precious gold-plated pewter, cultivating a new genre of body armor rooted in both traditional and synthetic reveries.
Lunar Mare is heartfelt yet mechanical; nostalgic but ambitious and strange all the same. In showcasing Dévé’s rapid progression from her debut collection, this ode to an extraterrestrial ideal is a genuine parade the designer’s more unorthodox brand of sophistication.
