Elína Lans is amsterdam-based artist jeweler
the craft passed to her from great-grandmother Rahel,
and trained at Central Saint Martins in London, Van Cleef & Arpels in Paris and gemological research in Sri Lanka
sourcing finest diamonds and exceptional gemstones, Japanese akoya pearls and recycled gold - she personally handcrafts each piece
proudly a member of Watch and Jewelry Initiative 2030
'every piece is made by hand in amsterdam, the same tools passed down from my great-grandmother, and the work itself - which, genuinely, i love every single day
many of the pieces i make begin with something that already exists - a ring inherited and never worn, a stone from a life that has changed shape. i take what my clients bring me and i make something they will actually want to put on.
this repurposing is some of my favorite work. nothing is wasted. everything carries meaning forward'
