CALLING

 

Wearable brave Jewelry crafted from organic materials is the definition of every piece in
Dandi Maestre’s highly celebrated collection. Antlers, horns, raw amber, coconuts, skins and
even reclaimed wood take on a new identity in her earthy and artistic hands. The Colombian-born
artist began her transformation from graphic design to exotic Jewelry design and never looked back.
Based in Toronto, her collections take influence from her travels and indigenous and tribal cultures
around the world. “Taking nature as my inspiration, I explore organic shapes found in rivers, shores
and forests,” Maestre says. With pieces that already create a breathtaking statement, if these jewels
could talk, Maestre is confident in their message: “Nothing last, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect. Just be real.”
