Description
Handcrafted in Lanzarote
Malpaís – silver bangle inspired by Lanzarote is a statement of intent. It is born out of admiration for the immense power of nature and lava. We have created a piece of jewellery that appeals directly to those of us who love this lunar landscape that the island of Lanzarote gives us.
Malpaís recreates a sea of petrified lava that has become a rough and bare landscape. The surface of the cuff plays with these tortuous forms, of sterile and arid appearance, but hold valuable treasures inside.
The Malpaís was the ancient inhabitants’ hiding place from pirate invasions and today it has numerous archaeological sites. It also has a natural underground spectacle, one of the world’s largest volcanic tubes, where two beautiful caves are formed: La Cueva de Los Verdes and Jameos del Agua.
The black colour, so characteristic and identifying of Lanzarote due to the magma flows which spat out of the volcanoes of Timanfaya in all directions, is also characteristic of this oxidised silver bracelet with a matte finish.
The piece’s made using the same techniques as a sculpture. We use very old methods like the lost wax technique, which was used by pre-Columbian jewellers in South America.
