Tina Lilienthal at Little15 Jewellery
Young German born designer Tina Lilienthal creates and hand-makes 'fine fashionable jewellery
with an edge' from her Shorditch studio, mixing precious elements like sterling silver, gold and pearls with unconventional materials such as resin and fabric since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2003.
Tina is most
famous for her iconic cherry collection which was used for an advertising
campaign for clothing chain American Apparel and has been a bestseller for many seasons now.
Inspired by Pop Art and anything plastic Tina's work focuses
on the unconventional mixture of materials and meaning. Using
iconographic symbols her jewellery playfully tells the story of love
and loss, the cheap and the expensive, the mundane and the precious,
the sacred and the profane.
Remember, a sweet cherry is for life, not just for Summer!
