Paris Catacombs - Stephen Einhorn Inspiration

Stephen talks influences, heirloom jewellery, Hollywood and Paris catacombs with the fabulous Art Wednesday. Below is a little snippet and you can read the full interview here.

It seems you have a niche for that kind of gothic-romantic aesthetic. Is this a stream of art and literature that inspires you generally?

Well that’s difficult to answer because I didn’t realise that that is how my style comes across! I am definitely a romantic and I do love the gothic style, and somehow the symbolism seems to mix very well. I recently went on one of the tours at Highgate Cemetery and absolutely loved it. I love the catacombs in Paris as well… so much human endeavour. The patterns that have been made with all those bones are amazing.

I have a lot of reference books, specialist art books, literature and various objects related to the gothic-romantic subject too, but I don’t read romantic pot-boilers in case you are interested! The last book I read was Rohan Mistry’s A Fine Balance, a very inspiring book.

The heartbreak heart: a hand-painted plaster heart broken open to reach the piece inside

The giving

A heart they have to break

Every piece arrives in a Stephen Einhorn box. For the ones that should be remembered, we wrap the piece in soft cloth and seal it inside a plaster heart, hand painted in the colour you choose. To reach what is inside, they have to crack it open.

Almost everything we make can be engraved by hand in our workshop: initials on the face of a signet, a date inside a ring, a line only they will understand. Engraved pieces cannot be returned, so if you are unsure of the size, order it plain and we will engrave it afterwards.
