Collection

Maris

Shells of sea creatures are in fact their abandoned homes. So crustaceans are small artists and sophisticated architects of nature. They form conical and round structures, with a sculptural character, which smoothly transition from roundness and smooth surfaces to sharp edges and roughness. Ania Orska, appreciating the craftsmanship and artistry of their works, faithfully reproduced them in jewellery. She recreated the intricate shapes of the shells in metal, emphasizing their tiny imperfections. She used both whole shells and their shards, which ensured a new quality. She also transferred their rich textures to simple jewellery trim elements, creating intentional irregularities on the ring shanks and bracelet rims. The Maris collection is a leap into the oceanic world, faithfully transferred to our reality. Based on the free concept, it was possible to create nonchalant, very feminine and light jewellery. Realistic designs and the way they are made are a praise of authenticity, a reminder that there is no point in trying to improve nature, because it always provides timeless patterns of beauty.
