Swedish jewelry designer Maria Nilsdotter's Mad Love collection takes a different approach to Valentine's Dayrelated jewelry collections. The holiday tends to elicit similar tropes and motifs. Common imagery includes flowers, hearts and love-filled messages. Instead, this line aimed to embody the "magical thinking surrounding love and the madness it can cause".
The end result is a magical collection that emphasizes the whimsical. Standouts from the collection include a black broken heart pendant necklace, various vials and jars to elicit a potion-like aesthetic, silver envelopes with the words 'Hate You' etched into them, and more. The line consists of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings and more, offering something to suit anyone's aesthetic. The pieces are available to shop online.
