About Maria Black

Maria Black was part of our Fashion Week shows, and the hype was impossible to miss. Her piercing concept and 14k gold earrings are customer favourites.

A unique approach

The brand story

Maria Black fell into jewelry making while living in Ibiza around 2003, and graduated as a goldsmith in 2009 before moving to London and starting to sell at Sunday Upmarket in East London. From there, stores discovered the work and agents approached her, and the brand grew,  organically and at pace,  built entirely on Maria's skills, creative vision, and willingness to learn everything else on the go.

When she launched in 2010, there were no mid-range jewelry brands operating in the fashion market with precious metals and a genuinely gender-inclusive point of view. Dressing men in pearl jewelry was unheard of. Dressing women in bold, sharp power jewelry was a statement. Both were simply what felt right to Maria and her team. The brand has evolved considerably since, and continues to do so deliberately, stopping every few years to examine what still feels true.

The founders

A house of craft

Maria Black is a Copenhagen-founded brand established in 2010 by its namesake designer and trained goldsmith. What began with Maria selling her own handmade pieces at Sunday Upmarket in East London has grown into a multidisciplinary global brand with stores in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Berlin, Oslo, and Tokyo, and a presence across more than 30 markets. Every piece is designed in-house in Copenhagen, and the collections span seasonal silver jewelry, a core 14k gold piercing line, and in-store piercing experiences carried out by highly skilled piercers. The brand is gender-inclusive by founding conviction, not by trend.

The design DNA

Maria Black was part of our Fashion Week shows, and the hype was impossible to miss. Her piercing concept and 14k gold earrings are customer favourites.

Maria Black works in recycled 925 sterling silver and recycled 14k gold, with lab-grown diamonds introduced across the collection in 2021. The aesthetic moves between fluidity and bold modernity, small wearable sculptures, as Maria describes them, that fuse artistic expression with functional fashion. Seasonal silver collections are produced only to order and exist for a season before giving way to the next; select styles move into the permanent core collection. The 14k gold piercing line runs alongside, designed for the ear and crafted with the precision of a goldsmith's hand. Signature pieces include the Brainjelly and Blue Morpho earrings, the Atlas and Dogbane necklaces, and the Zina and Vesta stacking rings.
