NEW MATTER
Most people of a certain age will remember those heat reactive gem stone rings made popular by teenagers and ravers in the 90s. A child of the 90s himself, that was the inspiration behind Alec's first collection of jewellery back in 2018, which has now grown into a wider collection and a new brand, that encapsulates the nostalgic, youthful feelings of a long-lost night out.
Each piece is a face designed and carved by Alec, which is cast and finished in London’s Hatton Garden, using reclaimed gold and sterling silver, each unique in quality.
To launch the collection and new online store, Alec collaborated with filmmaker Jack Exton and photographer Sophie Green, to capture the jewellery and its story.
