Jewelery has long served as an amuletic connection to other worlds, as a protection against harm and misfortune, and as memory holder of moments or people departed. Across every culture, and into deep time, we have sought to adorn ourselves in these charms – the physical crystallizations of metaphysical ideas. LOKI PATERA is a continuation of that rich tradition – of imbuing story, memory and protection into talismans and wrapping our bodies in them.

LOKI PATERA is handmade in small batches in their Sydney studio, using recycled sterling silver, found objects, up-cycled gems and chains, and natural oddities. Their current research includes designing a ‘curios’ organizing system for the natural materials they have found, up-cycling off-cut gem material, and working on a new collection.
