Öleshlär, presented in the finals of 33rd Hyères Festival Of Fashion combines clean, dynamic shapes together with simplified naivistic ones. For me, jewellery is also about having fun and experimenting as you go. I wanted to incorporate this intuitive process in the pieces created. 

Wafin believes that nature has a profound effect on all living creatures, and he aims to incorporate that raw and natural feeling in his own designs. Wafin wants the person wearing his creations to have a strong physical connection with them. The pieces are not only to be enjoyed visually, but they are haptic and to be touched.

Made of recycled silver, recycled gold, tumble polished stones, rosequartz and unheated sapphires, the collection combines different shapes and textuMade of recycled silver, recycled gold, tumble polished stones, rosequartz and unheated sapphires, the collection combines different shapes and textures in a clean yet playful way.

Wafin mixes different stone qualities and stone setting styles for the diversity they bring in the jewellery. Wafin also likes to showcase materials as Mother Nature created them. As time passes, the silver in these pieces will oxidise and develop a darker tone while, in contrast, the gold parts will remain shiny and bright.

The tumble polished stones and the rosequartz have different patterns and tiny color changes to them, that make them lively and unique. Here too, the sense of nature’s own creative power is present and not hidden or polished away. Öleshlär consists of seven hand-crafted pieces. The collection was designed and crafted by Wafin for the finals of Hyères Fashion Festival in 2018.
