An art installation by goldsmith Rebecca Elbek in collaboration with designer Andrea Larsson, Reflections Copenhagen
With our presence at this year’s Enter Art Fair, we want to contribute a more sustainable and ethical proposal that bridges the gab between our two industries and universes of crystals and gold. Leftover crystal parts and broken pieces are given new life through the art of repurposing them with gold-plated residual materials. It has been elevated into timeless treasures and everlasting unwearable jewelry.
Each leftover crystal has a unique beauty and character because of its flaws where where its imperfections and fractures become a part of its past and the beginning of a new story.
Rebecca Elbek has composed new bejeweled whimsical objects with a hidden truth of life lived and an unexpected, but beautiful future ahead. Each object is ornamented with discarded gold and broken jewelry pieces and leftover casts.
THE CRYSTAL LEFTOVERS

"The material itself has an obvious beauty and wasting it is simply devastating both to me and the planet."
The repurposing of gold
Rebecca Elbek, jewelry designer & goldsmith
"Leftovers of material and mistakes from my casts have an unexpected beauty. Being able to use them and incorporate them to another project has been a great pleasure."
