RAY JEWELLERY
DESIGNED AND HAND MADE BY XAVIER CLARISSE
PRODUCT DESIGN : WEARABLE ART
Capturing the vibrant energy of sun rays and the warmth of Africa’s landscapes the Ray range embodies light and optimism. Africa’s sun is a powerful symbol of life, growth and energy. This collection channels that radiance into jewellery that is both celebratory and evocative, blending modern design with a nod to African aesthetics.
Like any quality item made from veg tanned leather your item will start out a bit stiff. Much like a pair of good shoes you need to break it in a little. This is actually one of the benefits of veg tanned leather - the breaking in process will create an item that is unique to you.
Conceived and handmade in the Durban, South Africa studio of Xavier Clarisse, each piece is crafted from quality, locally sourced, vegetable tanned leather manipulated in a distinctive way. Veg tanning is an ancient process where rawhide is tanned in tannins from natural plant matter. It is an incredibly durable, eco-friendly and beautiful leather. The dyes and finishing products used are internationally certified and free from harmful substances.
