Élan collection, 2026
Élan collection, 2026
Aurore Brard
Water finds its own way, tracing unique paths forward. Vivid, bright and agile, it runs over rocks and through its relief, creating sparkeling streams. Élan began as a question: could a piece of jewellery carry that same energy, alive with movement?

From Sketch to Silver

This exhibition follows the creation of the collection, from the first sketch to the finished silver. Visitors can follow the process step by step. Discover the melted wax studies, annotated prototypes, raw silverwork, sketches, and material research that shaped each piece.

Materials & Reuse

The collection incorporates recycled silver wherever possible, while the production process is designed to minimise waste; every offcut is remelted and reused.
Pieces are made in small, intentional quantities, designed as heirlooms. Forms built to resonate now while resisting the pull of passing trends: made to be worn, kept, and lived with.

Carving Water brings the creation process into view: the hands, tools, and time to shape them, alongside the finished jewellery.
