Small Production
Means no waste!
And it also means that you are wearing an exclusive piece, a piece that stands out.
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.
Inspiration
Nature is an endless source for it. The forms that I make in jewellery are largely inspired by organic, imaginative creations found all around us, in nature.
Before I plunged myself into making jewellery, I spent many years practicing drawing.
I studied fine arts and I still love to work on paper, using the pen, brush and the free expresion that drawing 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.
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 that 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!
All the pieces are handmade in our metal workshop in Utrecht. I share our workshop with several colleagues goldsmiths.
Due to the handcraft, each piece is unique and just a tiny bit different, enough to make it exceptionally yours.
You are welcome to visit us by appointment.
