    REBRO creates anatomical jewelry, inspired by natural and biological forms. We take shapes from nature - like a snake's rib or scales - elements that wrap around and protect the body. These are natural armors, reimagined in metal. We want to make fragility strong.

    REBRO was born from a desire to create meaningful, ironic jewelry - something timeless and storytelling. The idea started with a product: during a summer spent by a salt lake, Anastasiia Erlih observed wildlife. One day, after seeing a snake, she wondered what its ribs looked like. A quick image search sparked the realization - they would make amazing earrings. That design became REBRO's first and best-selling piece. Nature and anatomy have fascinated her since childhood.
