MARIE JIANU, Romania
Lotus, brooch/cuff/ring
The collection is inspired by the lotus flower, a symbol of purity and endurance. Although it grows from muddy waters, the lotus remains untouched by dirt and embodies the ability to overcome challenges and maintain inner purity despite negativity. It symbolizes inner strength, renewal and the search for light, revealing the beauty and potential hidden in every struggle, and remind us to stand tall and bloom in the light, in contrast to the darkness and uncertainty of the world.
Material: pure silver, sterling silver, 24-karat gold foil
