| Marks of Time |
Handcrafted brooch made of wood
aged and reused, brass and silver. The pin has parts of old clock mechanisms, incorporating time as the protagonist and material.
Each element of this pin was chosen to evoke the passage of time and the beauty found in wear and tear and transformation. The wood, with its natural grain and rustic texture, symbolizes persistence and life that resists the test of time.
The oxidized brass and clock mechanisms, rescued from pieces that have already completed their cycle, represent the past and the stories they carry.
| Secrets of the Earth |
Silver necklace with natural stone, reflecting geological time and the natural formation process that took millions of years.
Amber stone consists of a plant resin that fossilizes over millions of years in trees, with the ability to preserve organic materials, such as insects, which remain encapsulated inside.
The inclusions in amber tell stories of a time gone by, symbolizing the
patience of nature and how it preserves moments and experiences within itself.
We invite you to discover a space where time is the main protagonist.
