Adam No Eve

1. Who is behind Adam No Eve?

Aaron O'Brien (myself) & Marcel Bingham are behind Adam No Eve. Marcel and I met at a school party two years ago when we were in year eleven. We both had something really in common and that was we're both very style conscious people that have an interest in fashion of all kinds. Marcel is now studying tourism part-time and I am studying Fashion Business at FBI part time.

2. What motivated the conception of Adam No Eve?

We've both have always had a love for accessories but we could never find what we wanted. It was either too girly, to bling bling or just tacky. So, we decided we'd create something different, something that men actually like to wear and feel good in.

3. Describe your aesthetic.

We have quite a distinct look about our designs. Marcel has a clean-cut, mod approach to his designs where as I have a more alternate look.

4. What is the inspiration behind the current collection?

We have two collections Adam's Career and Adam the Night Owl.

Adam's Career is inspired by the geeky yet cool side of life. E.g. old school video games and cartoons. The inspiration also came from men not being able to be their edgy self at work. A lot of businesses have strict conservative dress codes. The idea is to funk up that boring business suit.

Adam the Night Owl this is a more casual range which is inspired by Sydney nightlife, everyday life and where we come from, Sydney.

5. Your jewelry is produced in Australia, could you share some insight into the production process?

Each piece is manufactured in Sydney. We feel keeping as much production as we can in Sydney is important. Our ideas come to us whenever they pop in our mind, this is the first step of production. The second is placing them on paper and looking at them to think whether they are realistic. After all this is done we select the appropriate metal as each metal has different properties. Then we manufacture them and hand finish them in our studio in the Northern Beaches of Sydney, each piece has its own identity.

6. What is your favorite material to work with and why?

Our most commonly used metals are sterling silver, pewter and brass. These are some of the most functional metals people can wear with an off-the-rack purchase. Us guys can give our accessories and absolute beating so they need to be durable. However, we will use other metals for custom orders, such as gold and platinum if requested.

7. Where can we find your range?

We are quite a new business but you can find our pre-range at Roof On Fire in Paddington for the city-goers or we even have people popping by our studio on the Northern Beaches. Our online store will be up and running in the very near future. We are adding new designs to our current website every week. The full range will be up on adamnoeve.com in late June.
