Mélanie Laplante, glass artist: jewelry and decorative objects Meilleur vendeur

The name of her line of glass jewelry and homeware, MÉLA, comes from the first syllables of her name: MÉlanie LAplante. But mela also means "to gather" in Sanskrit. A nod to the thermoforming technique, fusion, which she mainly uses to make her creations.

"For me, glass is a dense material that makes light vibrate. I like to superimpose layers of colored glass, which, transformed by heat, forms a movement whose traces can be seen in each piece. I add my own touch, cold-faceting angles to follow the curves created by the heat. A paradox in itself, to rework heat with cold!"

The Aurélia vermeille ring is a creation of Montreal glass artist Mélanie Laplante for her MÉLA line.

Set with a transparent glass bead with dazzling reflections, the spiral band makes it easy to adjust the size of the ring.

Mélanie Laplante, Quebec glass artist and jeweler behind the MÉLA brand, shapes each piece of her Aurélia collection with passion and meticulousness. Inspired by texture and form, she first sculpts her creations in wax, giving them an organic, almost living dimension. Once cast in sterling silver, these works come to life.

It was upon presenting them for the first time that Mélanie heard the first murmurs: "They look like sea creatures... seaweed... jellyfish...". Intrigued by these unexpected similarities, she let herself be inspired and named her collection Aurélia, in homage to the jellyfish of the Saint-Laurent estuary. A nod to the harmony that links art, nature and the imaginary. As we say here: "Tout est dans Tout!"

ADVANTAGES :

  • Adjustable. Please indicate your ring size in the comments box of your shopping basket, so that Mélanie can make a preliminary adjustment.

DETAILS:

MATERIALS: 925 sterling silver, 14-carat yellow gold plating, glass
PROVENANCE: Montreal, Quebec
DIMENSIONS: Diameter of setting: 13mm; Height 8mm (½ X ¼ inch)
