Sophie Buhai

Sophie Buhai is a Los Angeles jewellery label founded in 2015. The studio makes jewellery, objects and collectible works with master metalsmiths and silversmiths in the Los Angeles area. Sterling silver is the signature material, alongside 18-karat gold, pearls, wood, urushi lacquer and precious and semiprecious stones. Dover Street Market London stocks its modernist silver necklaces, rings and cuffs.

Sophie Buhai draws on references from ancient adornments to Surrealism, and looks to makers who moved between jewellery and objects, such as Line Vautrin, Elsa Peretti and Claude Lalanne. The work has been shown at galleries including Galerie Anne-Sophie Duval in Paris and Trevor Cheney Gallery in Los Angeles. A small team works from a 1986 postmodern house.
