SLANE AND SLANE

Slane and Slane is a very noble high end sterling jewelry line. Run by bi coastal sisters, Heath and Landon Slane, this studio produces spiritually and architecturally influences pieces that resonate with a higher meaning.

The Slane sisters like to invite other artists and designers to work with them in their studio, and a lot of their pieces are a product of a collaboration between multiple artists. This gives their work the feeling of unity, strength, and camaraderie. They work with 100% recycled silver and 80% recycled gold. They are one of the greenest brands out right now, and 90% of their work is done here in America.

The designs of the jewelry itself are usually very humble, very structural, and based around a single idea or texture. A lot of thought goes behind the meaning of each collection. They take their inspiration from other cultures, animals, and architecture.  Each collection is a solid recognizable unit that can stand on its own quite well. Their work is a unique blend of both figurative and abstract design. One clearly sees the figurative influence or elements, but can still appreciate the elegant geometrical back drop.

They use a very small amount of gems to adorn their work. They are usually used either for color, or to add a small bit of glitter here and there. They do, however, have an exquisite pearl collection. They play with the natural forms of their pearls and enhance it with amazing sterling work.

Slane and Slane is the perfect jewelry brand for environmentalists, intellectuals, spiritualists, and artisans. Their work adds a meaningful and elegant touch to anybody, and is a pleasure to both wear and own.
