Our selenite finishes use the finest select pieces of selenite available. The selenite we choose for our work is quarried by hand and we receive the raw selenite crystals in our studio where our artisans begin their work.  We expertly cut, fit and polish each piece and as the designs call for, set them into a matrix of polished metal. Samples are available upon request.

Selenite is a naturally occurring crystalline form of gypsum and is unique in its lustrous beauty. It’s delicate qualities of layered, naturally fractured crystalline structure capture light in a way that no other material does.

FAQs

  • Selenite is a naturally occurring crystalline form of gypsum and is unique in its lustrous beauty. It’s delicate qualities of layered, naturally fractured crystalline structure capture light in a way that no other material does.

  • Our studio is based and our pieces are made in Southern California.

  • Selenite is considered a softer mineral. And while it’s beauty will last for years, avoid hard metal objects on the surface and keep clean with a microfiber cloth. Wipe up spills immediately and do protect surfaces from objects such as vases with chargers, coasters or felt pads. If an unfortunate scratch does occur, we can provide instructions for polishing and repair.

  • Newell Design Studio has developed and specializes in working with beautiful natural materials, many of which have been used for centuries in the finest interior decorative objects.  We create beautiful pieces that merge craft and art.  The collections from our studio are known for their timeless appeal, their unique signature of style and they merge both old world as well as new world craft to create work that is truly an American original creation.
