Wearable Sculpture | Curated by Maralkunst
Nature is constantly transforming.
Leaves grow, change, fall, and return—reminding us that every ending holds the promise of a new beginning.
The Leaf Necklace by Argentine contemporary jewelry artist Lorena Bornaschella is a sculptural interpretation of this timeless cycle. Handcrafted in bronze with a 925 sterling silver patina, the pendant preserves the organic beauty of a leaf while celebrating the textures, imperfections, and marks created through time and craftsmanship.
Part of the Alquimia (Alchemy) Collection, this wearable sculpture reflects the artist’s fascination with transformation—both in nature and within ourselves. The natural leaf becomes a symbol of resilience, renewal, and personal evolution, transformed into an artwork that can be carried close to the heart.
Each necklace is individually handcrafted, making every piece unique with its own character and artistic expression.
The Meaning Behind Alquimia
The Alquimia Collection explores transformation as both a physical and emotional journey.
Inspired by the philosophy of alchemy, Lorena Bornaschella transforms raw materials into meaningful works of art that symbolize growth, healing, and the beauty found in life’s continuous evolution.
Like a fallen leaf that becomes part of new life, this necklace reminds us that every experience leaves its mark—and every transformation creates something new.
