This is a rare, limited series of jewelry inspired by traditional Ukrainian ‘lembiks’. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted without molds, reflecting the same dedication and patience as all my ceramic work. Every 'lembik' in the collection is truly unique, with its own character, shape, color, and size—a testament to the artistry, time, and skill that goes into creating each one.
Ceramic, glaze. Handmade, Hand-painted

About Mariko
Shipping information
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.
