°’HRIAM sculptural jewellery is designed and handcrafted in Copenhagen x Athens, by the Greek jewellery artist Méri Charitonidi. Each item is exclusively made to order, using recycled and ethically sourced materials. Sustainable, timeless and unisex, °’HRIAM wearable art pieces are meant to be passed onto future generations, with the aim to initiate a strong heirloom tradition for you and your loved ones.
All creations are inspired by the jeweller’s multicultural background as well as her studies on arts & culture, aesthetics & philosophy. Deriving from complex incentives and heterogeneous stimuli, °’HRIAM pieces are both contemporary and classic, emitting a vibe of ancestral Mediterranean craftsmanship and effortless Scandinavian harmony. The brand’s wish is to support the desire of wearing jewellery freely, against stereotypes of conformity, by celebrating style and daring aesthetics. Due to interdisciplinary goldsmithing mediums of traditional & digital micro-sculpting, all items unique and unlike each other. There is no stock up on products -unless for a particular demand- and the distinctive character of each piece is acquired with a singular finishing touch right before being completed for you. Daring to be founded in 2021, °’HRIAM came to life after years of consistent jewellery-making and meticulous practice.
Working with original 18k sand gold, fine silver and precious stones the signature granulated and incised compositions of °’HRIAM pieces are a result of her fascination with tangible organic textures manifested in carving. In °’HRIAM’s atelier, the journey of the jewel begins with the sole purpose of conveying its possessors’ story, dripping in gold.
°’HRIAM jewels aim to become an elegant part of the everyday corporal experience by complementing bodily expression while enhancing personal urbanity. The creator’s profound belief is that jewellery can safeguard one’s secrets and emotions through the journey of life, becoming some sort of talisman adornment for emitting the individual’s innermost force.
