Time truly flies! I first spoke with Marion back in 2022 when she reached out to share her work with me. From the beginning, she was warm, enthusiastic, and incredibly kind. Her pieces instantly stood out—there’s something unmistakably “Marion” about them. She has a bold approach to design, blending metals, stones, and unexpected shapes in a way that feels both fresh and personal.
I’ve really enjoyed watching her creative journey evolve, and I’m so happy to have played even a small part in helping her share her work with a wider audience. It’s always a joy to support artists who create with such sincerity and dedication. You can feel the love and intention behind every piece—and that kind of authenticity is something worth celebrating.
It’s a bit like falling in love: an idea takes hold—you try to bring it to life, discover how to make it real, and then finally see it materialize before your eyes. That feeling, I believe, lies at the heart of every creative process.
In my professional life, I develop innovative processes for the paper industry. It’s an interesting and international field, but progress moves slowly—it can take years for a new idea to reach the market. I longed for something more immediate, something that allowed me to express emotions and ideas with my own hands, to work with tangible materials, and to experience the emotional impact of a finished piece—first on myself, and then on others.
That’s when I realized jewelry was the right path for me. Like anyone, I find inspiration in the world around me, and sometimes an image or concept forms so vividly in my mind that I feel compelled to make it real—something wearable, infused with all the passion of that exact moment. For me, this is a personal luxury: the joy of creation, the uniqueness of expression, and the hope that the future wearer feels that same spark.
I was born in Germany, where I studied interior architecture. Later, I moved to Venice, Italy, to pursue a postgraduate degree in architecture—an experience that deeply shaped my creative journey.
