Haywire
HAYWIRE was born from the idea that there’s neglected beauty to be found in unexpected twists of fate and unusual places.
We believe in a little magic, and that even inanimate objects carry a soul.
We hope that each of our pieces will follow you through your adventures, and bring its’ own charm to your journey.
Jewelry is rich in symbolism, and we like emotions. Each one of our jewels has been therefore crafted with a certain vitality we wish to bring you, so that you may carry it with you, and in turn share your own story with the objects you choose 😉
All of our beautiful pieces have been crafted in Bali and Thailand by using high quality metals which have been tested for components and the latest technology plating. Our staff has optimum wages and working conditions.
The semi- precious gems we use have been sourced ethically. Metal is also completely recyclable, therefore we are proud to say there is no waste or cruelty involved in the production of our beautiful pieces.
THE DESIGNER
Allegra Franziska Lipanje never expected she would end up designing jewelry.
Having studied Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University, London, she comes from an arts background and worked in the art gallery world, photography and fashion, in Italy and the U.K . Accessories however, had never crossed her path.
She found her passion for jewelry making totally by accident when a friend suggested she try a silversmithing class. Quite quickly and spontaneously, the class turned into a whole collection of designs and it came so natural to express herself this way. She thought ,“this is what it feels like when you finally find what you are meant to be doing.”
All the collections follow a theme which has at some point in her life inspired her, and every single piece has a story and symbolic reference behind it.
She is lucky enough to have the beautiful island of Bali as a creative playground and an overly vivid imagination which has always kept her head ‘ half in the clouds’. She hopes that through her pieces, she will be able to share some of her world with you.
