ARUMIdesign

We are Martin and Ugne, companions in life, work, dreams and ideas. All our jewelry pieces are the result of our creativity and 100% handmade by us from prime materials: silver, threads and gemstones mainly.

Our workshop in Nerja (Spain) is divided in two very different sections - textile making by hand and traditional silversmithing.

Ugne makes fiber jewelry by ancient macrame technique. Her pieces are carefully knotted by hand from thin threads - without any tools, knot by knot, hour after hour...

Martin, dedicated knotter too, studied silversmithing in Mexico and got passionate with this ancient craft. Making silver jewelry in the old way with a blade, hammer and fire is a hard work and a challenge. That's why it's so rewarding to finish a new piece you designed and made with your own hands.

We think handmade jewelry has much bigger value not only because of its originality and uniqueness but as well of the effort and time put in their creation.

Some of our jewelry is fusion of both techniques and the result of team work. On the other hand, we are merciless critics and the biggest fans of each others ideas, so all our creations are our common babies.

Being artisans and working for ourselves give us freedom to travel. We love travelling as much as our creative work. Getting to know how people live worldwide teaches what's really important in life. And of course, our jewelry may be different without the inspiration we get from other cultures, local arts and crafts, nature and landscapes' colors.

Thank you for taking your time with us. Without our customers' support we couldn't do what we most love.
