This bold yet minimal statement jewellery is designed and handcrafted by the father/daughter duo Leko & Leko. The unconventional pieces are created from a 5,000-year-old bog oak, the material whose uniqueness is reflected in the pieces' quiet elegance and depth of colour. The ‘Amulet’ piece is part of the collection, available at: www.lekoandleko.com or Instagram: @lekoandleko

Geometric shapes have been a key trend in jewellery recently – a perfect match for the many minimalist fashion collections o the runways. New Dublin based company Leko & Leko has taken the geometric approach and combined it with a surprising material. Using small pieces of bog oak, the father-and-daughter team have created a small collection of absolutely gorgeous pieces. Ivan Leko is a retired agronomist with traditional hand-making skills, while Ruza leko's background is in graphic and exhibition design.Having worked at Science Gallery Dublin as a lead designer for five years, she set up her own graphic and exhibition design practice studiosuss.ie, and then decided to set up Leko & Leko with her father. The simplicity of the geometric shapes are bold and beautiful and yet somehow retain an elegance and a delicate nature. Perhaps this is down to choice of the material – an ancient oak that has spent thousands of years submerged in the bogland. Using the material so ancient and juxtaposing it with clean, modernist shapes makes a very exciting piece of art... I mean jewellery.

"For the evening, I opted for something more muted than rainbow brights. This polka dot jumpsuit is one of my favourite pieces as it's so easy to wear and hangs so beautifully. I layered it over a polo-neck as it's much to cold to wear on it's own right now, and paired it with navy satin heels from Zara. The earrings, which you can see below, are from an Irish jewellery brand called Leko & Leko and are made from 8,000-year-old bog oak. They're one of my favourite pieces.
