Introducing the collections
Natural hues, organic inspiration, and a return to nature
The TIERRA Collection, a bohemian homage to nature, draws its name from the Spanish word for Earth. This enchanting ensemble of 24 pieces invites wearers into a mystical realm rooted in life's primordial essence.
Each piece resonates with the spirit of ancient talismans and amulets—revered objects believed to harbour protective powers and magical virtues. Spanning diverse cultures, these motifs echo the eternal dance of solar and life cycles, promising protection and prosperity to those who wear them. For millennia, such treasures have been cherished as conduits of positive energy and spiritual fortification.
In this series, these age-old symbols find new expression, gracefully adorning necks, wrists, and ankles, framing faces with whispers of guardianship and vitality. TIERRA composes a symphony of inspiration, drawing from the rich artistic legacies of pre-Columbian, Egyptian, and Indian civilisations. The result is a harmonious fusion of diverse aesthetic traditions, birthing a collection that bridges the earthly and the divine—a wearable celebration of ethereal bonds and our deep connection to the natural world.
TIERRA embodies contrasts with subtle earthy hues: transparency and opacity, roughness and smoothness, brilliance and matteness, lightness and weight, delicacy and robustness.
Dangling designs feature prominently, lending a lively quality to complement your movements. The butterfly prototype, tested at my best friend's wedding, proved delightfully surprising and intriguing!
The line features earrings in various lengths, adjustable ear cuffs, bracelets, ankle ornaments, and chokers. Earring wires come in different thicknesses to accommodate various earlobe piercings, whilst some bracelets are designed for slimmer wrists with chain extensions for larger sizes, catering to diverse needs. Each item is meticulously described in its product page.
The adornments incorporate natural stones such as Amazonite, Phoenix Agate, Ocean Jasper, green Onyx, green Agate, coloured glass, delicate feathers, and leather cords. They showcase forms inspired by organic life: shells, petals, leaves, flying elements, sunlight, the ocean, rocks, icebergs, circles, and spirals. This amalgamation allows for a rich interplay of tactile qualities and shapes in the overall design.
Threads of varying textures and thicknesses, from jade to silky strands, feature prominently in this collection, reflecting my enjoyment in both crafting and wearing them.
The chains employed include square links (Venetian style), diamond shaped links, striated ovals, fine round links, rectangular links, Saturn chain (interspersed with beads), rosary chain with green Onyx, and ornamental chain with alternating barlinks.
All golden metal components are fine 24-carat gold-gilded brass, save for some charms in gilded zamac, lacquered metal, and stainless steel (details specified on each product page). The My Little Winter Factory hallmark Iceberg charms are hand-stamped by me on stainless steel oval or round medals.
As ever, each piece is unique and singular in 1/1 edition (appart from my prototypes which i keep and wear for myself). Most bracelet and neck ornament chains are adjustable, with sizes modifiable upon request (if possible).
All metals used in My Little Winter Factory creations are guaranteed free from nickel, lead, and cadmium.
Short video clips will accompany each item's photographs. Top-down shots provide a general view of the jewellery, with hanging parts (back of neck and under wrist) stretched to the upper edge of the image. The nearest part of the picture shows the most visible aspect of the design (throat and upper wrist).

Ice-cold and crystal-clear
The ICY collection is inspired by the peace and silence - stillhet- of the Nordic nature where I spent many years.
It includes a jewellery line in 925 Silver-plated brass and a second one exclusively crafted with solid 925 Sterling Silver.
In all the designs, the knots and tightening elements are apparent. These are features and a part of the unique style of My Little Winter Factory jewellery.
Because everyone has different desires or needs, the ICY collection includes clip-on earrings and single earrings for even more mix and match!
The 925-Sterling Silver line is easy to find in the store, distinguished by its white 'snowy' silky background. ♢
Jewellery as a Cultural Signifier and a Marker of Time
Oxidisable metals possess the unique capacity to narrate a tale that inherently evolves over time. They embody Time in their very essence.
This collection draws its original inspiration from the aesthetics of Nicolas Winding Refn’s movie, "Neon Demon", which profoundly influenced my vision of vibrant multicolour.
During one of my quests for new elements of inspiration, I came across those fascinating little beads in neon colours. They led me from the earring design YOU&ME (drawing) to an entire collection of 42 distinctive pieces: 37 available separately in 5 colours: blue, purple, orange, yellow and green – and an additional 5 special editions.
The predominant materials I used for this comprehensive jewellery set are copper, bronze, brass, hematite, and neon-coloured pressed Bohemian glass from the Czechia. A majority of the copper and bronze components are made in France.
The rougher metal parts are meant to directly contrast with the vibrant colours of the beads. This combination imparts a modern flair to the vintage essence of the jewellery. The more the metal will “oxidise” (as in “react to natural elements”), the more the neon colours will pop.
Opposite materials and yet, somehow, interdependent.
Various shades of blue and gold define this 21-piece collection, taking inspiration from the Byzantine aesthetics. During that era, both women and men adorned themselves with robust metalwork, fine gold pieces, beaded creations and rich ornaments.
For this collection, I've chosen materials such as translucent cobalt Czech glass beads, the mesmerising blue Goldstone bead, the timeless Lapis lazuli natural stone, and alluring metallic glass beads. These elements are complemented by lightweight 24K gold-gilded brass chains and Gold-Filled 14K hooks.
I combined those elements inspired by ancient jewels with a touch of “streetwear” like yellow and navy blue Jade threads.
