Bijoux d'Elinn

Founded in 2018 by Elinn Fang, Atelier Bijoux d’Elinn has created more than 200 bespoke jewellery pieces for an intimate network of close clients. A differentiated spirit from a young age, Elinn accepted the wanderings of her unconscious as the wellspring to her imagination. She is a diver in the realms of experience, immersing herself in transient escapism, joining together dream and fantasy with absolute reality. Through a process of sketching, carving, moulding, selecting and setting, she surfaces surrealist beauty in jewellery creation. It’s a particular kind of woman who embarks on a co-creation with Elinn. These are women who are au-fait in the practise of self-definition, who have subscribed themselves to the constant evolution of self-creation, preservation and destruction, who seek no cues from the fanfare of the external world. Here, Elinn deepens the definition of bespoke as she navigates through the inner and outer atmosphere of her clients, exploring temperature, sound, textures and scent, emerging with new possibilities for awakened expression. Consideration, composition, correspondence; a delicate curation of steps leads to the final bond between each naturally complex subject and their bespoke object. Reposed in a 1900’s period building on Shanghai’s iconic Shanxi Bei Lu, a first-floor apartment of the fortuitously named Pacific Garden Residence fashions itself into the design studio, workshop and private salon for Bijoux d’Elinn. It is welcomingly mystifying, an architectural design that is at once reminisce of Paris or New York or London, allowing guests to cocoon themselves in the possibility of being everywhere and nowhere while they sink into the dialogue of their design.
