H₂ERǴ is a research-based jewellery brand which investigates the beauty of regenerative & ecological futures. Through crafting jewellery and research projects, H₂ERǴ explores a new precious material culture which draws from biotechnology, history, craft and science.
h₂erǵ was the first word used to describe silver, a Proto-Indo-European root word, which also means ‘to shine’
The designs draw inspiration from a range of sources. From natural growth formations, ironwork, surrealism, to ancient alchemy.
The studio is based in London and was created by Karoline Healy, who has a background in materials research. Her ongoing project, Future Metals, aims to use jewellery to propose regenerative alternatives to exploitative metal extraction by collaborating with waste, metallurgy, biologists, craftspeople and nature.
