About

Maria Rudman is a bracelet designer who is based in Paris, France.

She started her fashion career as a model, gracing the cover of many top fashion magazines. She then redirected her efforts toward designing jewelry.

Maria grew up by a lake in Sweden in a house filled with handicrafts made by the Sami, the original inhabitants of northern Scandinavia. Part of Rudman's family stemmed from Arctic Lapland, where Sami-once known as Laps-have lived among the reindeer herds since the beginnings of time. It has taken Rudman many years of research and close collaboration with both Sami and other selected craftsmen to be able to present today a wide choice of high-quality accessories, created using techniques unchanged for many hundreds of years.

The Look

Maria creates pieces that reflect the rich cultural history and tradition of her native Sweden, and uses many decorative elements derived from its native people. While adhering to traditional fabrication techniques, and employing traditional artists to create her amazing pieces, she infuses new spirit into these decorative pieces with a twist in color and pattern. Her designs are in the form of reindeer leather bracelets with silver or pewter wrap patterns with closures of horn, bone, or solid silver buttons. Rudman's jewelry is uniquely antique but at the same time modern.Her bracelets become only more beautiful with age and have an avid collector base.
