ESHVI- With Love From England

If you haven't heard of Eshvi you should definitely check them out. I first came across their jewelry when I was browsing Instagram (as always). Their pieces stood out to me because of their "Robot" collection inspired by Lego and robots. The pieces was designed with many geometric shapes- cubic mostly. The thing with geometric shapes (square, rectangle, triangle) is that sometimes it can make the design look stiff because of it's natural angular designs. However Eshvi pieces are put together so eloquently that it flows as a whole.

As quoted from their website, "Eshvi, means ‘fang’ in Georgian and is generally understood to be a good luck charm. This iconic symbol is a distinguishing design detail of the brand and features centrally or subtly in the pieces." Designed by Georgian born sisters-in-law Natia Chkhartishvili and Tamar Svanidze, the London based jewelry brand was founded on the desire to create strong statement jewelry.

Below are some of my favorite pieces from their AW/14/15 "Robot" Collection. As mentioned, this collection took inspirations from robots, Lego and the technological progress presented in our daily lives and inevitably in the future of fashion. The Robot Collection mixes statement pieces with feminine colors and elements to soften angular designs.

Golden Robot ring

Robot Cuff: Yellow gold plated cuff with white marble and moonstone resin cubes.

Pink Quartz Earrings: Rhodium plated earrings mixed with yellow gold, light rose and black Swarovski crystal

Robot Necklace: Yellow gold plated and ring pendant embellished with marble studs.
