Our universe: “One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art”

“One should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art.” — Oscar Wilde

In public spaces, in exclusive rooms and buildings, in the privacy of our homes, or on our own bodies. The ways art makes itself present in our daily lives are infinite, and they keep expanding and changing shape. It finds us in the places we inhabit and visit, in the objects that surround us, and also in the ones we choose to show and to wear.

Iskin Sisters was born from the meeting of craft and art: from the combination of tradition, practice and expertise, from a renewed appreciation of handwork and a creative aesthetic eye.

We make contemporary jewellery with singular designs, disruptive concepts and inventive techniques, conceived for people all over the world who recognise themselves in that vision. Born in Brazil to an Argentine mother and settled in Buenos Aires, drawing on different cultures and connecting with people in different places has always been essential to us.

Our pieces are made and finished by hand in Argentina, and from there they travel to design shops and museum stores in an ever-growing list of countries — the Guggenheim in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., the SFMOMA in San Francisco and MALBA in Buenos Aires, among many others.

We share what moves us, and we build lasting, particular bonds. We see ourselves as part of a community that feels art as something of its own, something central, and chooses to express it in the way it looks.

Welcome to our universe.

That community includes the artists we work with: every necklace pack travels with an art print by a contemporary woman artist. You can read about that here — United by Art: why every piece travels with an artist’s print.
