This noble and modern material after being laser cut is high polish finished, thermoformed, texturized, patinated, mattified, dyed and often associated with other eclectic materials (rubber, wood, wool, metal etc.). Each item is handcrafted in their Parisian studio with a careful attention to the most intricate details. Unlike most laser cut jewelry, ALEX+SVET ennoble every single element to accomplish an impeccable high-end jewelry.
