From graphic memories to wearable forms
Arkivia is a project that lives between jewellery and graphic arts. Drawings that inspire jewellery, and jewels that leave a mark on paper, skin or memory.
I’m Clàudia Torrents Herrero and I’m the person behind each piece. I design and craft everything by hand in my studio in Barcelona, taking inspiration from many places. I would say I tend to observe lots of the shapes, textures, colours and meanings of ancient Mediterranean jewellery or stories from my family.
Arkivia is about archiving moments. About turning emotions, stories, and heritage into small, wearable objects with soul.
If you're interested in a piece from the collection — or if you'd like to create something unique and personal — you're more than welcome to reach out or come by the studio.
We can think together.
With Arkivia you will gather shapes from the past and wear them like an armour.
