Maripossa

Maripossa is one of my favourite Australian jewellery labels. Hailing from Sydney, self taught Lauren Besser handcrafts each piece. Transforming coarse metals into fabric-like statement pieces. She fuses raw earth crystals, sterling silver and fine chains into her distinct style and aesthetic. Each piece is hand oxidized or dip-dyed ensuring it's exclusivity. Each beautiful made piece is made in Australia and is available at Fallow.

Maripossa is a playful reference to the Spanish word for butterfly...the expression of an obsession with the tragically beautiful transformation and life cycle of the butterfly.
