London is encased in a nickel vessel London calls to the smell of red brick, London parks with crocuses and nettles and the salty smell of the Thames at Dagenham.

Chop Long

A long chopping board milled from solid oak with a soft curved edge detail. The long shape makes this board ideal for bread or as a decorative charcuterie board.

Chop Long feathures a convenient hole for hanging or holding and a brass logo detail. 


Tom Dixon Stone Pestle & Mortar

'Hours of grinding in our own London restaurant resulted in this weighty block of white Morwad marble and brass to smash, pummel and grind spices and herbs. An exaggerated rounded lip allows you a firm grip as you work.Turned white Morwad marble mortar. Brass Etched logo on the base. Brass pestle, weighted with an inner cast iron core, polished and left unlacquered'

Introducing Alkemie to Mr & Mrs Smith

Forged from 100% reclaimed metals, husband-and-wife design team Ashley Lowengrub & Dara Gerson's unique jewelry is equal parts art and accessory.  By creating new designs from existing materials in abundance, Alkemie’s mission is to translate something that would otherwise be landfill-bound into wearable art.
Capturing and reinterpreting texture from soft organic forms into lustrous metal is an integral part in Alkemie's design philosophy.  An Alkemie cuff, ring or necklace first starts with an inspiration- a leaf, a starfish, or a one of a kind vintage piece. To replicate the texture and dimension of an object, the designers cast through a lost wax process, playing with the design, and discovering different light dimensions and form. The design process is then culminated in the final casting of the form in a solid piece of reclaimed metal.  An Alkemie piece is an artistic manifestation reflecting the incredible depth and life of natural textures and objects.
Alkemie Jewelry is a brand that pioneers with hopes to change the jewelry industry with its social and environmentally responsible practices. They have earned a devoted international following based not only on the originality of their designs, but their leadership as a socially and environmentally progressive company.  Alkemie promotes local living wage and eco-sustainable business practices.
All Alkemie designs are Lead & Nickel Free.  We patina our pieces to make them appear as though they came out of a treasure chest!  If you wish to shine, brush with warm water and bleach-free natural soap.

Owl Chain with Hawk Claw Necklace

The sun is said to live through the Owl’s eyes at night, allowing the owl to see better at night. May this necklace with it’s many owls inspire you too see in the darkness and find the wisdom inside.

Talon holding Druzy Crystal with Long Thin Tooth Necklace 
Ancient Japanese believed druzies formed from the breath of a white dragon, and regarded them as representing perfection.  The Talon holding the Crystal imbues this element, while the Long Thin Tooth brings forth the idea of this ancient wisdom.  Every precious Druzy Crystal is one-of-a-kind. All pieces are hand made in Los Angeles.

Dara and Ashley’s motivation to live environmentally and socially conscious really comes from exemplifying responsibility to their daughters.
