Repair
Some objects bear the trace of a passage.
Ex-votos, votive fragments, symbols of gratitude: they attest that a threshold has been crossed, that a vow has been kept, that an ordeal has left its mark.
Gabriela Sismann’s jewels of repair do not erase history; they absorb it.
To wear these pieces is to inscribe one’s personal transformation into matter.

What these jewels do
They accompany change.
They soothe transition.
They give form to a return to balance.

They give form to a return to balance.
Each fragment is authenticated, dated, and contextualised. The transformation of the ancient object into jewellery places it in the present without diminishing its power.
