INÊS TELLES - LISBON

Inês developed her first collections in 2009 and the designer jewelery brand bears her name – Inês Telles.

With a degree in Art History, Inês has always been enchanted with the stories and cultures of other times and places. Travels, archeology, ethnology and botany are important inspirations for the designer's attentive eye, where through silver and gold, she finds organic and sophisticated forms. They are pieces that seek to be comfortable, versatile and that sometimes carry some symbolism and mysticism; these pieces find in the human body a place to embellish and adorn.

With a small production and using manual and traditional processes, it is in the Lisbon studio that the brand Inês Telles creates and produces the pieces of jewelry. There is a constant concern for the improvement of an economical, environmentally ethical and conscious production.

“As for my inspiration, I have always been enchanted with the stories and cultures of other times and places. Travel, archaeology, ethnology and botany are important inspirations for me, as well as places with good energy that transmit positive thoughts, in balance and connection with nature. I also find inspiration in objects full of symbolism and history. Anything that catches my attention and makes me want to mold and work the silver or gold and transform it into shapes, objects and movements. What makes me most happy about my work is to see it worn by people who love it or the expectation in someone’s eyes when they buy my pieces to offer a loved one.”, Ines.
