172artz
172 Artz is a handcrafted art jewelry studio dedicated to creating wearable pieces that exist between art and adornment. Each design is intentional, sculptural, and produced in limited quantities to preserve individuality and craftsmanship.
The work is inspired by orchids, symbols of strength, refinement, and quiet elegance. Their influence appears subtly through form, texture, and structure rather than through literal repetition. No two pieces are identical, and nothing is mass-produced.
