Abstract in Rigour Maria Piana © 2012
Maria Piana is a London fashion jewellery designer that brings focus to embracing andaccentuating the most attractive aspects of the physical female form. The fervor and coldness of plexiglass, wood and metal, harnessed to create eminent statement pieces.Clean, rigid curves, sharp lines, strong designs: the posing jewellery awaiting to be worn and underscore the wearer. Power, assertion, sexual liberation, distinctiveness and adventurousness by using the form, size, colour, texture and material as the main means of manipulation can be mirrored in the collections. Jewellery, that due to its scale and novelty, questions the boundaries between jewellery, clothing and sculpture. Body pieces that would empower the potential wearer and intrigue the viewer.

looks real, the ring from bliss.. very sweet story.. i like the vintage one, good to hand down some day.. i’m like you, not a jeeerwly wearer except my simple wedding rings, and a pair of silver hoops. i only add to what i wear a few pieces my children give me from time to time, colorful jeeerwly that i will wear in the summer. i also like to find cheap bangles and bracelets to add a bit of color now and then. i think about handing my rings over to my great grandkids someday ()
