éliou x Crown Affair
We believe collaboration means more than combining aesthetics—it’s about working with creative friends who share our values. In that spirit, we are proud to introduce our collaboration with éliou, the Miami-based jewelry brand known for its playful design and commitment to craft.
This partnership emerged from a real desire to create together. Our founder, Dianna, has been close with Cristina and Duda of éliou since moving to Miami, and they have always been fans of each others’ work. Together, we sought to create pieces that honor personal expression, embracing both timelessness and liveliness in every detail.
Behind The Designs
In designing the pieces, we drew inspiration from the natural elements and brand signatures that define us. Each element was chosen for its ability to evoke a sense of movement and playful elegance, while being practical enough for daily wear.
From éliou, we captured the spirit of Miami: sun-warmed sands, oceanic hues, and a sense of effortless vibrancy. We incorporated our signature green, silk fibers, and a nod to the Botticelli muse who inspires us with freshwater pearls.
These handcrafted pieces feel personal, tactile, and timeless; a reflection of summer’s easy elegance.
Bringing It To Life in Miami
It felt only fitting to bring the collection to life in the place where it was born: Miami. We partnered with longtime friend and muse Juliana Salazar to star in the campaign, shot at The Standard Miami Beach, and captured by photographer duo Wiissa. Juliana styled herself, and the pieces, in unexpected yet effortless ways—a reminder that hair and styling is a tool to shift and evolve, capturing the multitudes that live within us.
Despite torrential rain the day before, the skies cleared on the morning of the shoot, giving us a sunlit backdrop that felt almost like a blessing. (The celebratory piña colada Juliana enjoyed after the shoot felt equally fated.)
From Dianna:
“Cristina, Duda, and I have always shared an approach to style (and life) that is considered yet very free. This collaboration celebrates that spirit—a reminder that accessories, like great haircare, are an everyday ritual of self-expression and care.”
