about the pica pica



              The pica pica
                        recycled jewellery


the pica pica (known as magpie) is a very specific bird with a great love to any shiny elements of our world, so do I

in polish, chinese and korean culture pica pica brings

luck
&
happiness

the pica pica likes and uses unusual materials and combinations. she digs the environment in the search for inspirations and natural way of matching ideas. the goal is always to give other pica picas opportunities to feel great and special, to feel the magic of composing.

the pica pica is most proud when giving second chances to things that have been already used and now they're abandoned. it just feels great to reuse them, to give them a new destination in existence, to make them look nice (see the pica pica postman and the pica pica rebitzi collections). however the pica pica makes sure that all materials used to make jewellery are high quality which, includes 925 sterling silver, black lava gemstones from mexico, rubber bands thrown away by post office and used cycling industry parts. all jewellery are designed and handmade at its own nest by the pica pica.
