SLOW ROVER tells the story of a creative observer who drifts between Earth and space. Carrying a small journal, she records her emotions, discoveries, and imagination. Each entry is transformed through metalwork into a unique piece of jewellery, preserving a moment in time. Every collection includes a page from her observation journal — offering a quiet invitation to see the world through wonder and reflection.
AVANTELIER has selected her handcrafted silver jewellery for its thoughtful design and poetic narrative. Each piece is made from recycled silver and carefully handcrafted by the designer, embracing both sustainability and artistry.

What inspires your jewellery creations — are there particular themes, emotions, or experiences that guide your design process?
At SLOW ROVER, inspiration comes from the delicate balance between earth and space — moments of quiet reflection, personal discovery, and a curiosity for the unknown. Each piece tells a story of stillness, with the aim to capture and preserve fleeting emotions and thoughts, turning them into tangible forms.
How do you integrate sustainability into your creative process — from material sourcing to the final handcrafted piece?
Sustainability is woven into every aspect of our design process. We use recycled silver as our primary material, ensuring minimal environmental impact. Each piece is handcrafted with care and precision, limiting waste and embracing slow, intentional creation. Our packaging is also eco-conscious, made from sustainable materials to reflect our commitment to a better future.
Are there any innovative or recycled materials you love working with, and how do they influence the design and story of your jewellery?
We work primarily with recycled silver, not only for its reduced environmental footprint but also for its unique character. The material’s history is integral to each design, giving each piece a deeper meaning. We’re also experimenting with upcycled gemstones and eco-friendly metals, which help us tell stories of transformation and rebirth through our jewellery.
Could you walk us through one of your favourite pieces and explain how it reflects both your design philosophy and your sustainable values?
One of our favourite pieces is a delicate ring inspired by the quiet phases of the moon. It’s made entirely from recycled silver, and its texture mimics the lunar surface — a reminder of the beauty found in stillness and the passage of time. This piece captures our design philosophy of preserving moments and reflects our commitment to sustainability by using responsibly sourced materials.
How do you balance artistic expression with eco-conscious decisions, especially when faced with challenges in sourcing ethical materials?
Balancing artistry with sustainability is at the core of our design process. We believe limitations in sourcing materials can spark creativity, leading to unique designs that are both eco-friendly and meaningful. Every challenge is an opportunity to innovate — whether it’s experimenting with new materials or finding new ways to tell stories through recycled components.
