the story

Since ancient times, owls have been viewed as symbols of wisdom, intuition, and femininity, as well as fertility. Examples of this can be found in their associations with the Greek goddess Athena, the Hindu goddess Lakshmi, and the Baltic sorceress Ragana, among others.

Astute and sharp, the owl's wisdom encompasses not only the ability to bring to light what is hidden in the dark but also the capacity to thrive within that darkness.

'Sibli,' meaning 'to whistle' in Esperanto and evoking the word 'sibling' in English, is a collection I created while pregnant with my second child, Mateo, during the most challenging days of the COVID lockdown. I found inspiration in the birds I watched and listened to from my window. These graceful and adventurous creatures, celebrated in many cultures, symbolize resilience, joy, love, wisdom, and strength.

Through a series of whimsical thaumatropes and charms, I aimed to capture these values and aspirations. I hope that by wearing them and keeping them close, they will accompany and inspire you.

how it's made

I carefully hand-cut and welded this little owl in different layers to give it depth.
I then engraved details on both sides of the pendant and added a touch of dark patina to bring out the intricacies. The entire piece is made of solid sterling silver.
