LeJu at the Royal Academy of Arts

Jewellery label LeJu, will be sold at the Royal Academy of Arts from 23 January - 18 April 2010  to

complement the Van Gogh exhibition. Known for its colourful, vegetable ivory jewels, three of LeJu’s designs will be available for purchase: The Bubble necklace, the Flor necklace, and Polo earrings.

On the partnership LeJu’s Dutch-born designer Lenny Trines commented: “LeJu jewellery is a permanent fixture at the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam and our collection was spotted by one of the Royal Academy of Arts organisers who thought it would be the perfect fit to sell alongside Van Gogh’s work at the exhibition. We’re really proud to have our jewellery at the Royal Academy of Arts in London, especially since we are London-based.”

Leju jewellery is made with sustainable components from an Amazonian palm tree species and crafted into designs full of character and colour. The vegetable ivory is combined with sterling silver, recycled agate, lava beads, and a host of semi-precious stones to create artisan pieces of high quality of craftsmanship.
