About Vesper Obscura

Vesper Obscura: Modern heirlooms meant for anthropologists today, archivists in a century, and anthropologists in a millennium. Vesper Obscura is a New York-based jewelry line designed by Mia Vesper. The emotionally charged, small-batch pieces are like relics of the present—made to endure across lifetimes. After cultivating a cult following with made-to-order clothing, we now devote ourselves entirely to jewelry: kaleidoscopic, meticulous, and unmistakably personal. Each piece is equal parts difficult to achieve, easy to love, and surprising to see. Drawing from folk art, folklore, and an outsider’s approach to design, Vesper Obscura challenges the conventions of fine jewelry. Our pieces are the kind of fun you take seriously! “I make jewelry that harkens back to a time when someone might wear a pendant the size of a plum,” says the designer. “They’re modern heirlooms, but built with a cool-girl aesthetic. Raised in a family of antique collectors and metal fabricators, I developed an early obsession with distinguishing real value from perceived. I resist disposability & reject inflated tradition. But more than anything else, I’m obsessed with creating things that don’t otherwise exist.“Read their story
