Touching the body touches the mind

When the sun touches the body, it touches the mind. You feel it on you even when your eyes are closed. It warms, it fills with energy. You long for it during winter evenings and cloudy days. It gives meaning to life, adds strength and courage, and brings joy. It appeared in the sky billions of years ago; it marks cycles, measures time, divides and unites day and night, and reveals light and shadow. It illuminates the darkness of the night and heralds a new beginning. In the hands of an alchemist, it turns into gold. As a ball of fire, it possesses the attributes of fire and is a symbol of masculine energy. The sun is a symbol of fertility and life-giving; it is associated with optimism, happiness, and joy.

The "Touching the body touches the mind" collection is a continuation of Anna Samków’s designs, in which precious metals—silver and gold—are combined with resin in forms with an irregular, organic structure that provides a sense of closeness to nature. On the first day of summer, when the sun is at its longest in the sky, the artist presents her new designs, which will serve as energetic talismans not just on sunny and hot days. This time, in signet rings, necklaces, and earrings, Anna Samków reveals the sun, which will share its energy with you all year round.

The artist has once again invited women who are not professional models to take part in the project, to show that the world of fashion is imposing fewer and fewer limitations and is increasingly making room for everyone who wants to give it a try. All the shots were painted with the lens of Natalia Miedziak-Skonieczna, who has an extraordinary lightness in showing the human body in combination with nature. Both artists have combined the image with the energy of the solar talismans in a warm and radiant way.

Let the sun placed in the signet rings, necklaces, and earrings be close to you. Let it be a talisman that helps in the affirmation of the energy of life and happiness.

All pieces are made of 925 sterling silver, enveloped in luminous 24-karat gold.
