Brand identity, Shopify store and collateral design for a bespoke handmade jewellery brand.

Handmade jewellery is one of the most visually congested categories in independent retail. The available aesthetics have largely collapsed into two positions: the warm-rustic of artisan craft and the cold minimalism borrowed from fine jewellery so we created a balance that straddled the two worlds.

Neither suited a brand whose name - drawn from the Greek, meaning "to speak in riddles" - pointed toward something more elusive. The brief was to build a brand that rewarded discovery rather than announced itself

The brand mark and its relationship to the name's meaning with the typeface choice holds the right tension between legibility and mystery.

The design embodies the name: speaking in riddles, not selling directly.
