Anndra Neen

Anndra Neen is the collaboration of two amazingly talented sister, Phoebe and Annette Stephens. 
Growing up in Mexico City the girls were surrounded by artists. They gained much inspiration from their Grandmother, Annette Nancarrow who married Conlon Nancarrow, an avant-garde composer. She herself was a painter, sculptor and jewellery designer who collaborated with the Muralist Movement in Mexico. Her pieces were collected by Anais Nin among others. 

While attracted to their Grandmother's eclecticism, the sisters have drawn on their own interpretations of antique European jewellery, ancient Egyptian motifs, Japanese design elements and Bauhaus graphics to create a vision all their own. 

Each piece is unique and hand crafted of both mixed metals and silver by artisans in their workshop in Mexico City.

Anndra Neen continuously pushes boundaries with their beautiful designs. 
I've been in love with Anndra Neen since seeing their amazing cage clutch at Fallow
