The Stone of the Future in the New Stone jewelry collection

The New Stone artistic jewelry collection was born out of a reflection on the state in which we want to leave the planet to our successors. For the sake of the Earth's future, the production of the new can be replaced by processing what is already available. Because what do we have in excess? The answer is simple: waste. So if we want to make a real difference, we should focus our attention on seemingly inconspicuous raw materials. In line with this idea, the synthetic New Stone gem was created. Although small in size, it can inspire others to create boldly. Post-industrial plastic along with silver filings (leftovers from metal processing at ORSKA) was subjected to experimental processing, resulting in a distinctive dark stone with shiny particles. All this to give this material a unique second life.

Artistic bracelet from the New Stone collection

The bracelet was made from irregular links of various sizes. The silver hoops are decorated with a pendant with a synthetic stone called New Stone, which is the result of our collaboration with the team of enthusiasts at Boomplastic. The Stone of the Future was created from post-industrial plastic. The dark shiny gem with silver flakes looks striking and is surprisingly lightweight. The jewelry in this collection calls for reflection on the overproduction of single-use plastics. The "made by Homo Sapiens" stamp adorning the bracelet is meant to serve as a daily reminder of our responsibility for the welfare of the planet.

Each piece was handmade and the New Stone gems may vary slightly from each other.

Upcycling in the world of jewelry 

Designer Anna Orska often gives unobvious and forgotten materials a second, better life. Following the idea of upcycling, she transformed post-industrial plastic into a gem that adds character to many everyday looks. Likewise for the jewelry in the Baltica collection, where she juxtaposed natural amber with a synthetic stone made from fishing nets found at the bottom of the Baltic Sea. In addition, she turned leather scraps from the production of handbags from a befriended workshop into small works of art: hand-tattooed necklaces, bracelets and earrings. In this way, the jewelry is not only a beautiful decoration, but also a symbol of environmental responsibility.
