T and Brie is a collaborative jewelry Studio of metalsmith Teresa de la Guardia and her daughter Sabrine. A place where thoughtful design and handcrafted adornments are brought to life, works that crisscross between art and craft, observation and fantasy.
Inspired by the less expected details of their surroundings, be it the inherent beauty they find in Nature's details or the majesty they see in utilitarian metallic forms embedded in the streets of their beloved NYC, T and Brie work with a broad palette of inspirations.
Their deep appreciation for the art and design movements of bygone eras is firmly entwined with the respect they share for the ancient culture of the Divine Feminine in Europe and Central America and its' profound herstory. This reverence is the underpinning of all they create.
Mother and daughter skillfully work to capture the essence of an inconspicuous magic in the here and now, weaving it into their unexpected, wearable art, reminiscent of another era.
Meticulously crafted in precious metals, luminous gems and pearls, their amulets seem to contain a story, convey a place, a moment in time, a connection to something beyond, ready to become part of another's story.
The Midnight Garden - a collection evocative of an evening in the garden, when the layers reveal themselves, in a chiariascouro kind of way. A full moon creates new definitions, night blooming flowers perfume the air, there is quiet movement about, insects continue on in their mysteries ways, seemingly aware their time here is fleeting
