Introducing Banshee by Vona: Unique Wearable Sculptures Inspired by the Sea

Australian-born designer Klara Marie Bliss brings the nostalgia of her childhood by the sea to Europe with a beautiful, handcrafted jewelry collection called BANSHEE. Using seashells, freshwater pearls, and semi-precious stone beads, Klara crafts versatile and unique pieces that seamlessly transition from the seaside to the city streets. Handmade in Prague and Antwerp, each item is a blend of symbolism and mythology, capturing the spirit of the sea.

The VONA Siren Emerges: A Fusion of Symbolism and Mythology

Step into the modern world of symbolism and mythology as the VONA siren evolves, bringing her collection of sea treasures to the heart of central Europe. Each piece is a unique expression of Klara’s passion and creativity, embodying the spirit of the sea and the soul of the wearer.

The BANSHEE Unleashes a Wave of Innovation

Introducing the BANSHEE, a collection that pushes boundaries with a daring blend of loud, ambitious, and mystical elements. Klara introduces new techniques and materials, including soft-soldering, to embellish shells, gemstones, and freshwater pearls. The free-hand character of this technique ensures that each piece bears its own individual character and flare, making a bold statement that resonates with the daring and the rare.

Wearable Sculptures

Immerse yourself in the fantastical world of the BANSHEE, where flowers are hand-sculpted from professional-grade lightweight polymer and transformed into exquisite earrings and brooches. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind original, sculpted by hand with a high-gloss varnish finish, creating a porcelain-like effect. Revel in the artistry of Klara’s craftsmanship, where every object becomes a wearable sculpture, never to be replicated in exact shape.
