About
Ingabitus — chunky jewelry with a rugged texture, inspired by natural processes. The name comes from habitus, a term in mineralogy describing how crystals grow. Like minerals, each piece takes shape on its own, born from the material itself, from wax to metal, keeping traces of fluidity, melting, and fractures.
Before working with metal, I experimented with wood, clay, and stone, which made attention to material the foundation of the brand. I couldn’t find jewelry that felt truly close, so I started creating it myself. After a year as an apprentice, making pieces for myself and friends, the hobby grew into a profession. A turning point was a series of rings for a theater, which gave me more freedom in form and expression.
Ingabitus rejects symmetry and flawlessness in favor of authenticity and texture. What matters is not a perfect surface, but the movement of form and the traces of handwork. The jewelry can be chunky or everyday, but all share one principle: imperfection, which makes the form alive.
