Rubber is a very important material found in many aspects of our daily life. It has many useful properties – stretchiness, heat resistance, chemical resistance, electrical resistance AND waterproof to boot.
She takes full advantage of the softness and malleability of rubber to coil, insert and form her structural pieces. I love how she uses colored rubber not just the black version.
Maria explained how she came to use this material :
Since the childhood my life was connected with drawing and art. I have a professional high art education and for over fifteen years I have been teaching children various disciplines of arts, in parallel engaged in the creation of jewelry.
At the age of 34, in 2019 after two years of maternity leave I realized that I want to create my own jewelry brand, I have all the resources for this and this time there is the most suitable moment: I finally had found my material, I feel its possibilities, I like its expressiveness, unknown and modernity, in my head there are a lot of ideas and I’m ready to try myself in fashion industry.
From what I see in her store, Maria is well on her way to achieving her goals!
All About Rubber
The indigenous cultures of MesoAmerica were the first to use rubber – as balls in games. Later on, the Mayan and Aztec people used rubber to make containers and to waterproof textiles.
