The Elements collection is a true collaboration of creative visions, brought to life by Virginie, the founder and designer of tinyOm, in partnership with visual artist Holly O’Neil. Together, they have woven a narrative that draws on the timeless forces of nature: Air, Earth, Water, and Fire; to create jewelry that is both artistic and deeply meaningful.
Virginie’s aesthetic, known for its delicate yet powerful expressions of energy, merges seamlessly with Holly’s eye for visual storytelling. This collaboration has resulted in designs that feel like an homage to the natural world. Every piece in the collection has been thoughtfully crafted in 18k yellow gold, given a raw, battered finish to evoke the untamed beauty of the elements. This texture is integral to the design, as it mirrors nature’s own uneven, organic forms, reminding us of the raw forces that shape our planet.
The compass shape within the Elements collection serves as a powerful symbol of balance, embodying the flow of the four elemental energies: Air, Earth, Water, and Fire. Each direction represents a path, a journey guiding us toward harmony with both the natural world and our inner selves. This compass is more than just a design; it’s a reminder of the forces that shape our universe and the strength they bring into our lives. With every piece, the compass guides us towards finding our own balance, connecting deeply with the elements and their power within us. Let it lead you on your journey toward inner harmony.
The form of the pieces, soft, round, and fluid; capture the essence of nature’s flow. Each curve and contour speaks to the continuous movement of the elements, as if the designs were shaped by wind, water, fire, and earth themselves. Virginie and Holly sought to create jewelry that would evoke a feeling of connection, grounding the wearer in the rhythms of the natural world.
The gemstones chosen, amethyst for Air, peridot for Earth, topaz for Water, and citrine for Fire; were selected not only for their beauty but for their elemental representation. Holly’s artistic influence shines through in the way these stones are incorporated into the designs, with each gemstone serving as the centerpiece, anchoring the gold and infusing the jewelry with both energy and meaning.
The collaboration between Virginie and Holly has resulted in a collection that is as much about artistic expression as it is about a connection to the elements. The Elements collection celebrates the harmony between nature’s forces and human creativity, bringing together rough, raw textures with elegant, timeless designs. Each piece is a wearable expression of the powerful balance between nature and art, crafted with care and intention to resonate with the soul of the wearer.
