Established in 2017.
Viviana Langhoff’s work is centered on the idea of heirloom. «History, family, and storytelling are all often focused around objects; I’ve always wanted to design, craft, and make that heritage beautiful.» Viviana is known for her intricate metalwork, modern bridal styles, and one-of-a-kind pieces featuring unexpected hues, antique stones, and historical reference. Borrowing from the worlds of fine art, cultural adornment, and design, her custom work appeals to the expressive and open-minded individual— those who value individuality, creative collaboration, and are unafraid to stand out. Beyond jewelry design,Viviana’s work includes object design, interiors, and multimedia collaborations.
