ORSKA creates original jewellery for conscious individualists with character, who have passion and are not afraid of challenges. And it is precisely such people that she invites to become ambassadors. Marta Niedźwiecka, psychologist, author of widely read books and the popular podcast “About Twilight” naturally fits into this pattern.
The idea for the brand’s first co-created collection was born spontaneously, out of a genuine relationship that emerged between designer Anna Orska and Niedźwiecka – We were brought together by similar experiences that we had to face at a similar time. During our frank conversations, we had the feeling that we were not alone. Everyone experiences both good and difficult moments that need to be accepted and tamed in order to move forward. The fact that light would eventually be born from this shadow was a ray of hope that we wanted to share,” Anna Orska recalls the beginnings of our collaboration.
FROM DUSK TILL DAWN
The ORINI jewellery collection is inspired by the cyclical nature of life and the only certain element in this process – change. The authors encourage us to acknowledge the past, integrate all experiences, even the difficult ones, and build our new strength from them. Everyone has to go through the shadows to discover and appreciate the light. They also have good news for us: we all have within us the capacity to shine, to reach our full potential – The path to self does not take shortcuts or by avoiding the unpleasant or the dramatic. It is neither straight nor is there a map to it. The reward for our efforts is a deep and authentic contact with the most important person in the world for us. – adds Marta Niedźwiecka.
The idea of the collection is supported by symbols. The jewellery shapes are inspired by the phases of the moon, for centuries associated with rebirth and transformation. In their original signs, Orska and Niedźwiecka interpreted the new moon, sickle, quarter and full moon, using them solo or combining them all together to create interesting, modern compositions. Not coincidentally, the collection also features lapis lazuli – a stone of wisdom and awareness. Its ultramarine colour is intersected by golden pyrite inclusions, making it resemble a starry night sky. Geometric, minimalist settings bring out and emphasise the beauty of the stone, which is unique every time. And thanks to this uniqueness, each piece of jewellery is different.
The collection includes, among others, asymmetrical earrings, long necklaces, signet rings and ear cuffs made of silver or gold-plated brass. The collection is also distinguished by the play of structures. Brushed elements are combined with a smooth satin finish, which contrast strikingly and steal glances and compliments. Yes, the Orini collection attracts attention with its beautiful stone, its original design and its interesting story. But it is no mere accessory. It is a personal talisman that supports the attainment of inner harmony without letting us forget that the best begins after dusk.

Marta Niedźwiecka – psychologist and sex coach. Co-author of the book “Slow Sex. Unleash Love’. Since 2019, she has been hosting the author’s podcast “O Twilight” – which is invariably one of the most popular in Poland – in which she builds a safe space to confront the most sensitive spheres of human life. The broadcasts show familiar issues from a broader perspective, encouraging independent thinking, self-care and freedom from the influence of culture and conventional upbringing. Her first book ‘On Twilight. How to stop being afraid of life and live it your way’ became a bestseller from the spots, being present for many weeks on the list of best-selling books in Poland.
Anna Orska – jewellery designer. Her designs have been shown at exhibitions in Paris, Berlin, Milan and New York, among others. Anna Orska is the founder and owner of the ORSKA artistic jewellery brand. She has designed thousands of jewellery designs and small design forms. She is characterised by a non-standard approach to design due to the materials used, as well as the concept of the collection. The designer was a pioneer of upcycling in Polish jewellery. Anna Orska travels in search of inspiration. Some of the artist’s collections were designed and made abroad, inspired by traditional handicrafts. The artist has made jewellery collections with local artisans in Nepal, Bali, Mexico, Peru and Vietnam, among others.
ORSKA creates jewellery with character, her designs are expressive and often controversial. The rawness of the forms, the roughness of the textures and the different idea behind each collection reflect the temperament of the brand. ORSKA jewellery is not an accessory. It creates a creation in itself. Anna Orska’s specific design is for daring people looking for an original form of style. Each piece has an individual character. This is due to the handmade workmanship and the use of peculiar, often unique materials. The components come from different parts of the world and from different eras, just like the concept of the collection itself. ORSKA is rebellious, diverse and unpredictable. She is not afraid of experimentation. She is constantly searching. This is one thing that remains constant about her.
