with a story to tell....
Marianne McCaughey creates jewellery that celebrates human connection, nature, and ancient cultures. Inspired by her Danish heritage, geological expertise, and archaeological studies at Oxford University, she crafts unique, meaningful pieces that are timeless and deeply connected to culture and nature.
Harmattan Jewellery draws its name from the Sahara’s desert wind, reflecting Marianne’s time in Egypt and her love of desert landscapes. The pieces combine precious metals, gemstones, and ancient artifacts, capturing the beauty of history, the passage of time, and the natural world.
