Water with Bianca Mavrick

About the speaker
I'm an Australian contemporary jewellery designer know for bold forms, clever colour palettes and combining an arts-and-craft aesthetic with signature industrial finishes. My jewellery is retailed globally with stockists in the US, UK, Hong Kong, China, Japan, Lebanon and Italy. Imbued with symbolism and playful luxury, my collections push the boundaries of production, with each piece consciously crafted from my studio in Australia. I love to work with a with a signature palette of materials to create a collection that doesn't fit traditional jewellery design archetypes. My designs are minimalist in form, combined with maximalist details which creates jewellery that is original and unseen!

WATER
It’s the main source of all life. The lifeblood element that makes up 60% of our bodies.
It’s the liquid that we don’t drink enough of, yet waste effortlessly.
It’s home to millions of species, mysteries, and undiscovered knowledge.
We know more about the stars in the sky than the depths of our oceans.
We can use it to save lives. If used foolishly, it can take lives.
We think there is an abundance, yet only one percent can be touched. If we don’t protect our waters, then what will happen to life?
