History

The desire to own sterling silver jewelry that mirrored the same quality and craftsmanship as fine jewelry, led sisters Heath and Landon SLANE to create what they could not find in the world of designer jewelry.

Heath's background in fashion and photography and Landon's in film and television introduced an unusual combination of talents and insights to the world of jewelry design. The sisters' diverse aesthetic sensibility and lifestyle influences (Heath lives in Los Angeles and Landon lives in New York) as well as their love of exotic travel, added to the formation of a distinctive signature style.

Their design inspiration is rooted in classic architecture, mythology, a love of animals and spiritual influences. Fifteen collections and various line extensions over ten years of design have found appreciative audiences and devoted collectors throughout the United States.

Design Philosophy

Bi-coastal sisters Heath and Landon SLANE came to the business of designing jewelry with the resources that might otherwise have put them through graduate school. After varied career explorations and experiences in Santa Fe, Los Angeles and New York, the sisters started creating sterling silver jewelry in 1995 with the same quality and detail that had been historically dedicated only to gold and platinum.

Numerous childhood influences would shape their design sensibility, not the least of which was an utter fascination with their stylish and worldly grandmother. Portraying restrained elegance with flourishes of a grand scale or splashes of vibrant color, the girls' eyes were trained on a style that never looked predictable, but always looked appropriate. It is this sensibility which defines their design aesthetic.

Distinctive finishes in both their sterling silver and 18 karat gold designs characterize their collections. Drawing inspiration from a myriad of sources, each symbolic to one or the other, the sisters have defined a look that seamlessly complements the wardrobes of all women. Worn individually, mixed or matched, SLANE's Collections are appreciated both for their understated elegance as well as for their playful exuberance.
