Meet the Balloon Animal Family — A Limited Edition in 950 Silver
I didn't set out to make a collection. I set out to make one dog.
But once she existed — round body, looping ears, that unmistakable balloon-twist silhouette — I couldn't stop seeing the rest of the family in her. If a dog could be a balloon, so could a bee, wings caught mid-flutter. So could a hummingbird, mid-hover, wings pulled back like they're about to twist into shape. A T-Rex, small and round and somehow still fierce. A jaguar with that unmistakable Voronoi pattern cut straight through the silver, like light coming through a paper lantern. A cat, curled in on herself the way only a cat would insist on being twisted. Each one built from the same idea — that a jewelry piece can hold onto something playful without losing the weight and shine that makes it real.
Every piece in this family starts life as one long twist, the way an actual balloon animal would — and then gets reimagined in 950 sterling silver, high polish, with the little folds and pinches you'd expect from something a street performer just handed you at a fair. That contrast is the whole point. Something that looks like it should be light and squeaky is actually solid metal, permanent, yours.
Here's the part I want you to know before you fall for one: this family is limited edition. I'm not keeping this line open forever, because I'm already deep into designing the next one — a completely different concept, kawaii-inspired, a whole new visual world. Once the balloon animals are gone, they're gone. No reprints, no "we'll bring it back next season." If one of these speaks to you, that's the moment to say yes.
So take your time with the lineup. The dog, where it all started. The bee, for the ones who move with purpose. The hummingbird, quick and impossible to pin down. The T-Rex and the jaguar, for a little bite under all that shine. The cat, for the ones who keep their softness close and don't show it to everyone. Six shapes, one idea, all cast by hand in the same silver I use for every piece that leaves this studio.
Whichever one finds you, it won't find you twice.
