The Enigmatic Ecuador presents a collection of Art Nouveau–inspired jewellery rooted in Ecuadorian flora, fauna, folklore, and symbolism. The works form a connected series, with recurring forms and materials that link each piece into a broader narrative.
Flowing lines and organic structures guide the designs, while hand-piercing techniques create intricate, lace-like metalwork that reflects patterns found in nature. Enamel and carefully selected gemstones introduce subtle shifts in colour and light. Small, considered details and deliberate stone placement reward closer attention. Together, the pieces speak to cultural memory and the natural world, offering jewellery that feels personal, reflective, and quietly strong.
