OPTO - The New Alchemy of Waste

A capsule collection and a DIY kit of interchangeable jewellery made of recycled silver and new bio-materials from food waste

OPTO - The New Alchemy of Waste

OPTO is an innovative jewellery collection made of recycled silver and biomaterials.

Emerging from the collaboration between jewellers Gioia Clavenzani and Ivano Ghinelli, designer Silvia Gálová, and researcher Petra Garajová, it is an expression of thoughtful choices. Our creations speak of a desire to thread beauty with a responsible production process to bring to life eye-catching, modular earrings and necklaces for your every day.

OPTO - The New Alchemy of Waste

Shaped from certifified recycled silver and biomaterials, OPTO reinvents what nature gifts us. Alchemising industrial and domestic waste, using everything from avocado seeds to orange peels, we create minimal jewellery pieces that can be easily assembled into unique earrings and necklaces. All the pieces include components that can simply be returned to the earth when you choose to discard them.

OPTO - The New Alchemy of Waste

OPTO is also a creative choice, where modular components can be mixed and matched to create individual jewellery pieces. Beyond choosing to assemble your earring and necklaces, you can choose to dream up pieces yourself, using our intuitive and easy-to-use jewellery-making kit.
