Part 6/11:
Rui shared how personal life influences their work. During COVID-19, while heavily pregnant with their first son, Mika, she designed a spherical ring that many clients now associate with pregnancy and fatherhood, often purchasing it to celebrate the arrival of new family members. This emotional relevance ties their jewelry to meaningful life moments, making their collections not just accessories but vessels of personal stories.
The influence of Mika’s story is also evident in their upcoming designs, inspired by fun, nostalgic themes like toadstool mushrooms and bright reds. These elements aim to bring joy and evoke childhood memories, adding a playful dimension to their craftsmanship.
