Founded in 2024 by Alev Kennedy, Studio Alev is a contemporary jewelry brand producing pieces designed to be worn from dusk till dawn. The collection is inspired by a memory of a hazy, late afternoon on the beach, with a silver layer reflecting on the luminous sea, and a warm wind softly caressing the skin.
The "handcrafted product" carries great importance in Alev's work. Each master piece is hand carved or fabricated - carrying marks of the hand - to then be cast in solid precious metals by responsible companies in New York's Diamond District. All gemstones are carefully hand-selected from reputable companies in Istanbul and New York.
The collection is often in a signature matte brushed finish, which allows for easy mixing and matching of gold and silver, and many pieces are designed with the ability to stack which creates further opportunity for style and material combinations.
