Sweden's & Other Stories is becoming a force to count with when it comes to creative collaborations. It has previously teamed up with brands and creative people including Ada Kokosar, Lykke Li and Vans, and this spring will see the launch of its collaboration with Rodarte.

Its latest collaboration partner is FAUX/real, a New York-based jewellery brand founded by Mari Ouchi and Louis DeCicco in 2010. The brand is known for its ability to tell stories through jewellery and its collection with & Other Stories was inspired by the topic of how to find love - why do some people find love, when others don't?

"Through this collection FAUX/real is telling a story to show a new modern way of love - chasing through jewellery pieces that attract and lure. The unique pieces have names such as ‘Yes Yes Yes’ and ‘2 become 1’ that helps to elaborate this tale. It starts by you having to love yourself and then asking: what type of love are you really looking for,” says Mari Ouchi and Louis De Cicco.

The collection is launching for spring and features necklaces, earrings, rings and bracelets. It combines shiny and matte finishes, soft shapes and sharp materials and will be available in stores and online from this month, with prices from £19-£65.

“Just like us, FAUX/real is passionate about telling stories. Their jewellery tends to reflect everyday situations, always with an interesting twist. We’re very happy to introduce our customers to their co-lab, completely dedicated to love,” says Sara Hildén Bengtsson, Creative Director, & Other Stories.
