Since 2010 : Reimagining Jewelry for the Modern World

In 2010, Maria Black set out to change the way people think about jewelry. After completing her goldsmith training and gathering inspiration from hands-on experiences in places like Ibiza and London, she launched her namesake brand. Starting small, selling her handmade pieces in local design markets in London, she eventually established a studio in Copenhagen to fully bring her creative vision to life. Maria’s goal was clear: to craft jewelry that wasn’t just reserved for special occasions, but could be worn every day and re-styled endlessly. Her mission was to challenge traditional jewelry design by focusing on identity, styling, and gender norms, offering a new way to express oneself through jewelry.
