Why it belongs in ORBIS
Barcelona jewelry line founded in 2018 by designer Adriana Manso, known for chunky, brightly colored acrylic 'bon-bon' rings hand-cast at a family-run workshop using recycled and locally collected plastic.
La Manso was started in Barcelona in 2018 by designer Adriana Manso, whose background is in lighting design for theatre. The brand's starting point was upcycling acrylic costume jewelry sourced from vintage shops around Spain, inspired by pieces from her grandmother's own collection. The signature product is the 'bon-bon' ring - large, brightly colored plastic baubles set with rhinestones and gold-tone orbs - made by hand at a family-run factory using molds and locally collected recycled plastic. The label built its following through Instagram before catching on with wearers including Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Miley Cyrus.
