Maria Siara

Hi there! I'm Mari, the founder of Upbead Jewellery. I started Upbead as a side project while learning programming, as a way to put my creativity to a good use 😊

I've always looked at everyday objects seemingly through a different lense to those around me, and could see potential in the most random things. To make jewellery, I up-cycle anything from second-hand jewellery that I get from charity shops, all the way to bicycle inner tubes that would otherwise be thrown out 🌱

Here are some of my favourite things about up-cycled jewellery:

  • ➢ it's super unique (there are often only a couple pairs available from each design),
  • ➢ making beutiful pieces from unwanted items is very gratifying,
  • ➢ it's helping the planet! 🌍
