On my Birthday I received a beautiful piece from Anndra Neen, I wear all the time and get so many compliments.I had seen the pieces before and really admired them, there is a native and modern feel about them which marry together exceptionally well.
You can see their influences of their own culture, the Beautiful and stylish Sisters Annette and Phoebe Stephens were born and raised in Mexico City where they have their pieces made in their workshop by artisans , Mexico is known for its ancient craftsmanship especially in silver, but these pieces are not made out of sterling silver which would weigh a ton and be extremely expensive, Anndra Neen collection is made of Alpaca a alloy metal that is coated in silver , it is light but yet has substance and has a beautiful finish to it. So much better than feeling like you have a ton of bricks around your neck.
The sisters have a very mixed and creative cultural family , their grandmother was a well known artist and their grandfather was a avant-garde composer, so they grew up a home filled with creative people. The influence of these collections come from all their travels especially Japan where their idea was born into fruition, the Japanese are gifted with creating incredible work with silver, but you can also see their inspiration of Pre-Colombian , Tribal , French Medieval Armour and Modernist jewellery as I have shown in some of the pictures.
Keep it up ladies and Viva Mexico xo
