Lichens are very special organisms, they are a biological community composed of the symbiosis between fungi and algae. But why do a fungus and an alga combine to form a lichen? While the fungus provides shelter to the alga, the alga converts light into food and shares it with the fungus.
Together they have characteristics that they would not have individually and can thus develop better. They are very ancient life forms and were most likely the first life forms to leave the seas to colonize the mainland, where they reigned undisturbed for millions of years.
It is estimated that 6-8% of the Earth's surface is covered by lichens and, to date, there are 1777 species registered in the Swiss lichen catalogue, but every year more are discovered. Humans have discovered and exploited their countless benefits since prehistoric times, and in the traditions of many cultures they symbolize purity and resilience. Precisely for this reason we decided to create jewels that preserve the magic of lichen, setting them and making them eternal in all respects: pendants, bracelets, rings and earrings; each of them a unique and irreplicable piece. Each piece we create is a real unicorn, and wearing one of these jewels is like carrying a piece of enchanted nature with you, a memory of the forest and the fresh air.
So, if you are looking for a special gift for someone you love, these handcrafted creations will be a magical choice. Whether it is for a birthday, a special occasion or simply to see someone's eyes shine, these jewels will be an unforgettable gift that will bring with it all the magic of nature.
