SYMBIOSIS with Miguel

It is a project of mutual transformation. A limited series of jewellery created by Teresa Estapé and inspired by unique individuals who have transferred part of their personality to the pieces we present.

Symbiosis is made up of a series of jewels that possess the special characteristics of the individuals who inspired them.  

MIGUEL ADROVER

Unclassifiable, radical and poetic. Miguel Adrover. A genius who created iconic garments and burst into the fashion system in New York in the 90s, criticising the industry itself and highlighting its unsustainability, which at the time, no one questioned.

In our first meeting in Mallorca we talked about his intense life, his passions, his childhood. Mallorca, London, New York, Egypt. Struggle, delirium, creation, friendship. Miguel's life flashed before our eyes, we could almost see it.

The authenticity and genius of each of his creations can be seen in his clothing collections, in his photographs, in the way he dresses, in the flowers he carefully tends in his garden, in the objects that fill his house.

That day we also talked about jewellery. She showed me the jewellery she was so fond of and I told her about the sentimental 19th century jewellery I love so much, much of it made with hair and teeth.

Months later I received in my workshop a small blue velvet box with his two molars inside.

Miguel's necklace is made with a handmade silver chain. It has something of a rosary in its length and shape. It is an open and "convertible" necklace. It can be worn in many ways. Hooks at its ends allow to shorten it, to lengthen it and to insert two handmade silver boxes containing its two molars.
