The Story Behind Our Jewellery: Crafting Wellness & Intuitive Self-care
Matilde is fascinated by the power of jewellery as a wellness and healing source within our day-to-day life as a modern take on the ancient tradition of jewellery as talismans. The inspiration for her work came from her teaching experience, as well as from the social media movement #postyourpill and the rising of mental health issues amongst people and especially young adults in the past 2-3 years. Her work would like to be a constant reminder of the sacred importance daily rituals have for our mental health and wellbeing.
CHROMO-DOPE is Matilde’s debut jewellery collection, a portfolio that embodies the precious affiliation jewellery has maintained with wellness, healing and self-care through the ages.
Matilde’s motivation for this collection is anchored in two narratives that join the past with the future; the time-honoured fable of jewellery as a healing talisman and crystal healing lore, partnered with the rise of mental health transparency in modern times.
A jewellery collection designed as a personal remedy and wellness practice, CHROMO-DOPE offers the clean and clinical aesthetics of cosmetic packaging and pills, paired with fine British and Italian craftsmanship and unexpected materials.
Stones and 3-D printed jewels in fresh and joyous hues can be swapped out within rings, earrings and necklaces, meaning the wearer can change the stones daily as a ritual of intuitive self-care - depending on mood or instinct. The customisation of these jewels is designed to resemble the repeat consumption of a personal remedy; a reminder of the importance of maintain daily rituals as an act of mentalSelf-care. Inside the handmade packaging, you will find a leaflet reminiscent of a "bugiardino" — the Italian term for a medical insert. This leaflet offers creative and inspiring instructions on how to enjoy this remedy/jewellery to its fullest.
