Hi! I'm Maria.
I grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, a place that shaped so much of who I am. Surrounded by nature, I developed a deep appreciation for beauty in its most organic form. That connection to the natural world continues to inspire much of my work today.
My jewelry making journey started with a ring that I lost many years ago. It was a gift from my sister that I treasured dearly. I still remember the moment I lost it and in the many years that followed, I still couldn't stop thinking about it. One day, inspiration struck and I realized that what couldn't be found had to be made. And so I began taking silversmithing classes while living and working in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in 2017.
What started as curiosity quickly turned into a real passion. Jewelry making, for me, is a journey of self discovery, and a way tell stories through form and texture. Each piece I create holds a bit of that journey, and my hope is that it resonates with those who wear it in a meaningful way.
Thanks for being here, I’m excited to share this part of my world with you.
