Nature Inspired Jewellery Designers
I was invited to an independent jewellery designers event in downtown Helsinki, Finland. I'm always inspired by the arts scene here in Finland, as there are hundreds of courses easily available and affordable for people in this country to learn and live an artistic,creative life.
Browsing through the catalog from the People's Academy (subsidised courses by the government), offering all kinds of courses for self development, from oil painting to training to be jewellery artisans to healing and spiritual learnings, I have taken up at least one of the courses while I'm here. And looking forward for more after meeting these designers...
Meet Jewellery Artisan Marjo from Finland from Ateljee Argento.
Marjo's inspiration comes from the nature. She enjoys the nature very much, and gets inspired to design something from what she sees and feels from the nature. From picking blueberries she was inspired by the colors of blue and purple, she was able to appreciate the color transformation when making titanium jewellery in the high temperature - during heating and design formation, the colour of the material changes constantly, and the moment you like a certain color combination you'd stop the heat, and thus each piece of jewellery becomes one of a kind. Totally befitting the concept of life for her, she thinks that we all comes from nature, and we are one of a kind, no two living being are the same ;) I totally agree.
Another amazing story I'm inspired by her is her determination and living to her authenticity. Before she is a jewellery artisan, she was being very unhappy and stressed about her sales job, which she found not much meaning doing the things she did not find a purpose, that which was not her way when she wanted it but what other people wanted. So she took action and went through more three years of studying and learning to be a jewellery artisan. Now she has her own collection of designs and still she is working towards her next milestone - her goal is to be an international designer sharing her passion in jewellery designs all over the world, her first stop is to be Germany.
I am so looking forward to see her designs all over the world!
Meet Jewellery Designer Mariko from Japan from Marikoriste
Mariko's designs are inspired by her culture in Japan and her experiences all around the world in Europe and Asia. She particularly loves the winter season in Finland. You can see that her designs are all about features and things around our lives, the colours, the animals, the changing seasons. Her items featuring the turtles are very popular among Japanese, where turtle is a symbol of longevity. Her collection of beads and silvery items are also one of a kind, specially chosen during her travels and understanding of the culture.
I'm inspired by her
constant quest for doing things she is passionate about - whenever she
travels and lives in any part of the world, she strives to do what her
passion calls for, with such fiery and conviction, no compromise.
As international as her jewellery pieces, they are available through her online store, delivery all over the world.
I am happy to have totally enjoyed my day with these passionate designers, their mission, purpose and passion fully supported by their friends and family. I am inspired to press on my own mission, that is to share my love for joy and life through my inspirational coaching! Just like them. Thank you for the inspiration!
