Clairely Upcycled Jewellery

Award-winning upcycled jewellery designed by Claire Requa

Claire Requa, the talented designer behind Clairely Upcycled Jewellery, has created a stunning line of accessories that not only showcase her creativity but also contribute to a sustainable future. Inspired by the desire to repurpose materials that would otherwise go to waste, Requa decided to design jewellery using the leftover acrylic from the production of her Claire de Lune Chandeliers. The result is a collection of unique pieces that tell stories, empower the wearer, and create moods through their symbolism and combination.

The use of upcycled acrylic is a standout feature of Clairely Upcycled Jewellery. The material, known for its transparency and clarity, allows the designs to shine and reflect light in captivating ways. Each piece is laser-cut, giving Requa complete freedom of expression in her designs. From dragon pendants to horse shoes and symbols celebrating Jamaica's 50th year of Independence, the jewellery is a reflection of Requa's personal experiences and influences from the 60s and 70s.

One of the unique aspects of Clairely Upcycled Jewellery is its packaging. Requa repurposes CD boxes, aligning with the transparency theme of her designs. The packaging not only allows both retailers and consumers to see the contents immediately but also serves as a display unit, minimizing storage requirements. This thoughtful repurposing of a product that is not commonly used today adds an extra layer of meaning to the jewellery.

Clairely Upcycled Jewellery has received recognition for its outstanding design and innovation. In 2013, it was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This prestigious accolade is a testament to the remarkable expertise and creativity demonstrated by Requa in her designs. The jewellery not only showcases strong technical characteristics but also evokes positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.

Based in Copenhagen, Clairely Upcycled Jewellery continues to grow and evolve. With collections that span a wide range of themes and inspirations, Requa's designs offer a unique and sustainable approach to accessorizing. By repurposing materials and creating beautiful, meaningful pieces, Clairely Upcycled Jewellery is making a positive impact on the world of fashion and design.
