Brot was born from the wish to explore the bond between the body and nature.
From design to the final experience, every decision comes from a conscious wish to make things well, respecting each process and paying attention to detail.
The brand draws on a nostalgia for the past. Jewellery made with time and care, combining traditional techniques with contemporary design, with the aim of keeping the craft tradition alive.
Every piece is made by hand in our Barcelona studio, so no two are exactly alike.
Júlia Ventura
"My connection with jewellery did not happen suddenly. It was a slow, natural process that came after trying different disciplines. I have always wanted to explore the connection between the body and nature through art, and in jewellery I finally found the right tool to give that bond a physical form.
That is why I studied art and design in Barcelona and later moved to Florence to train as a jeweller. There I worked with different traditional techniques, specialising in those that allowed me to create organic, irregular forms that reflect that connection with the biomorphic.
Today I still work the wax directly with my hands, using its natural folds and textures to create pieces that come from the body and adapt to it.
Brot sets out to represent this bond, exploring the connection between nature and the body, where forms are not imposed but emerge through a natural process."
The process
The sea and the rugged coastline of northern Catalonia have shaped not only the creative process behind the first collections, but also a brand identity built on irregular, imperfect forms.
Every collection starts from this wish for imperfection and connection with its surroundings. The lost-wax technique makes it possible: the pieces are worked directly by hand, using the natural folds and textures of the wax to create jewellery that comes from the body and adapts to it.
Organic materials run through every collection. From the small pieces of sea glass in Entre el Medievo y el Mediterráneo, to the garnets typical of India in Gola, or the river stones in Sirkel, they are not just an aesthetic choice, but a conscious decision to keep production tied to the places the pieces come from.
