Maria started her career in the ‘90s — she viewed piercings as a form of beauty and wanted to couple it with fine jewelry, a contrast to the thick industrial styles that were popular at the time. Her earliest designs focused on the navel, perfecting the curves to fit those of the body.
Today her collection of body jewelry includes a beautiful assortment of traditional styles of barbells and hoops plus more unconventional and unexpected pieces like fancy waist chains and ornate dangles.
