Background
Coast Lines is a multifunctional jewellery series in silver and perhaps the last jewellery you will ever need to own.
Saying goodbye to the overflowing jewel box
The earth’s supplies of silver and gold are being used up, and the extraction is hazardous for the workers. In a series that spans across collections, Thora Thestrup Okkels challenges the trend-based jewellery industry and offers a sustainable, timeless approach to future jewellery use. The design of the jewellery draws on inspiration from the Danish coastline and was created in collaboration with Georg Jensen.
