A small ceramic statement inspired by the floral language of Ukrainian craft, where flowers symbolize renewal, protection, and a deep connection to nature.
Hand-painted in a muted azure blue, these earrings reinterpret traditional Ukrainian floral motifs in a contemporary, minimalist form. The result is a piece that feels both rooted and modern - easy to wear with neutral outfits such as black knits, white shirts, or tailored jackets.
Each flower is crafted by hand in ceramic and individually painted, making every pair slightly different. Light in weight and comfortable to wear, the Azure Blossom Earrings are designed for everyday use, bringing a quiet touch of meaning and color to simple silhouettes.
How to wear them
Wear them as the only accent with clean lines and calm colors. They work especially well with minimalist wardrobes, where one thoughtful detail makes all the difference.

Azure Blossom Earrings
Mariko is a Ukrainian brand dedicated to handmade jewelry, founded by artist Maryna Teslenko. With a background in ceramics, Maryna channels her skills into creating one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate Ukrainian culture. Her collections are inspired by her travels across Ukraine, where she immerses herself in the traditions, rituals, and daily life of Ukrainians.
The collection presented at YIY-BO appeared in autumn 2022 after a transformative journey to the Ukrainian Carpathians. Captivated by the vast meadows, flocks of sheep, shepherd dogs, and the authentic warmth of the locals, Maryna infused each jewelry piece with the sounds, shapes, and spirit of this picturesque region. Each creation reflects the beauty, freedom, and enduring traditions of the Carpathians, bringing a piece of Ukraine’s cultural essence to life.
