matterica | Handcrafted Avant-Garde Jewelry and Artisan Workshop

matterica is an innovative design studio and goldsmith workshop located in Valencia, Spain, specializing in high-craftsmanship jewelry. Transitioning from its former identity as Hèroine, the brand continues to fuse avant-garde aesthetics with traditional artisanal techniques. The practice focuses on creating objects that blend seamlessly with the skin, emphasizing the origin of materials and the value of local production. At the heart of matterica is a commitment to the process: transforming raw silver and noble metals through hammering, sculpting, and precision work. Their collections are inspired by diverse disciplines such as music, architecture, and art, resulting in pieces that carry deep personal meaning and emotional resonance. The studio operates as an open space where the connection between design and the individual is fostered through transparency in the creative process. Using fine materials including 18k gold, platinum, and various precious or semi-precious gemstones like aquamarines and diamonds, matterica ensures each creation is a testament to quality and contemporary artistry. Their work ranges from bespoke wedding and engagement projects to unique collections like the exclusive Truman or Liz rings, all defined by a signature style that balances modern form with the warmth of handmade excellence.
