Carthenni takes its name from the carthen — the traditional Welsh woven blanket found in homes across Wales for generations. This collection is a collaboration between Mari and artist Bex Elliott, merging Bex's knowledge of these old weave patterns with Mari's contemporary design eye.

The iconic, homely patterns are transformed into modern jewellery, using solid silver to recreate the bold Welsh weave plaid design. Though entirely new and contemporary, these pieces echo fragments of traditional Welsh design — summoning constancy, hiraeth, and the memories of home..
