hello & welcome!

My name is Maja and I am the person designing and handcrafting Maja Lava jewellery.

Founded in Utrecht, the Netherlands, in 2013, Maja Lava stands for elegant and playful jewellery, exquisite and with a twist. 

PreviousNext

Before I plunged myself into making jewellery, I spent many years practicing drawing.

I studied fine arts originally and I still spend a lot of my time working with paper, pen, brush and the free expresion these can give.

Maybe you notice an unusual form, a playful line in my pieces – very often these lines and forms first emerged in my drawings.

Nature is an endless source of inspiration. The forms I make in jewellery are largely inspired by nature and it’s organic, imaginative creations.

Silver and gold are strong and long lasting materials. That inspires me to search for a feeling of softness and flexibility while working with them.

I’m most happy if I can evoke a sort of fluid, soft, organic feel with the pieces I make.

Born in Yugoslavia, with family roots in Italy, Suisse and France, I also find my passion in the mix of different cultures. So many great styles developed all over the world.

The many traditions, different kind of beauties, patterns, points of view, are what make us all unique. I would love to point out and celebrate this uniqueness through the jewellery I make. Wearing the handmade, unique jewellery feels empowering!

Due to the handcraft, each piece is unique and just a tiny bit different, enough to make it exceptionally yours.

All the pieces are handmade in our metal workshop in Utrecht. I share our workshop with several colleagues goldsmiths.

You are welcome to visit us by appointment.

Are you curious to see some of my fine arts works as well?

Each spring I’m amazed by the fierce and yet del Each spring I’m amazed by the fierce and yet delicate buds breaking through the branches and moist earth.
Nature is slowly opening up again after it’s winter sleep!
Many of my jewellery pieces are inspired by the nature’s wonders.
Like these ‘Petal' ear studs made in 18k gold.
Celebrate the nature’s strong and gentle life force 🌱

As kids, we sometimes used to collect cherry pits. As kids, we sometimes used to collect cherry pits. 
On a special day, the Valentine’s day, if we threw those pits at the person we liked, he or she would like us back.
That was the little magic we hoped for.
We had to be well prepared as well, since there are no 🍒 in February! :-D

No cherry pits throwing this year.
But I did make these little silver hearts, a sweet gift to give to your Valentine, yourself or your dear friend!
They go per piece and you can order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, as many as you like...
...or friends/loves/piercings you have 🤍💘

There is so much to discover in the nature, and the moment you take a closer look a whole new world can feel as if it opens up in front of you!
