'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 engraved these small charms. A touch of dark patina highlights the details.
