Hey guys!
Today I am going to show you your new favourite jewellery label but first let me tell you some background.
Nicole Trunfio is better known as one of Australia's biggest models, however her newest venture shows us a previously unseen side of her. Nicole Trunfio is a jeweller and the founder of the new label Erth. This brand launched its second collection on the 31st of March.
In an interview with Vogue, Trunfio revealed that at school she was the only girl in metal class/workshop. She says, “I really loved the idea of learning a craft, becoming a tradesman, and working with a medium that could be moulded into anything my heart desired.” Trunfio was in a class full of men and this shaped her own unique aesthetic.
The sophomore collection is a continuation of the labels character; pieces that can be worn everyday, and continue on to dinner and dancing. Trunfio says that the idea evolved naturally, she started creating pieces and before long her friends started to make requests of their own. “They went so crazy for them I built a whole collection of other similar pieces,” she says.
While the label mainly focuses on a minimal aesthetic, they have been tapping into recent trends as well. “The diamante chokers have been selling out! We can't hold onto them long enough," she told Vogue.
The pieces are made from 14K gold and are made for day to day use. Trunfio guarantees that it will never fade, rust or break.“I envision my woman wearing it while she cooks, sleeps, showers and swims in the ocean.” She says. Currently each piece is handmade in LA, but with plans to expand to Austin, Trunfio is looking to employ Texan artisans.
Thankyou so very much for reading! xx
