Our Story
Born from a passion for bold design and meticulous craftsmanship, our journey began with a vision: to create timeless pieces that transcend trends and celebrate individuality.
Founded by Maria Baza, a French-Ukrainian model and jewellery designer, 8000 Atelier is a tribute to her deep love for the French Alps and the rich cultural heritage of Ukraine. The brand draws its inspiration from the dialogue between nature’s enduring forms and human-made beauty—blending the timelessness of the mountains with the ornamentality of cultural artifacts.
Our collections are seasonless, intentionally timeless, and guided by a commitment to detail and exceptional finishing.
Each piece is treated as wearable art—designed to feel sculptural, bold, and expressive, yet remain refined and enduring. We employ innovative techniques to achieve fluid forms and polished textures, all while ensuring that our creations remain true to their artistic essence.
Mission Statement
8000 Atelier is a contemporary jewellery brand defined by craftsmanship, slow creation, and thoughtful design. We produce in small, carefully controlled batches in collaboration with a selection of trusted manufacturers across the world.
Brand Values
Sustainability: We prioritize ethically sourced materials and environmentally responsible practices. We work exclusively with premium materials: sterling silver, gold plating, rubber enamel, lab-grown and synthetic gemstones. We do not use mined stones. This choice reflects our values—favoring sustainability, responsibility, and modernity in equal measure.
Craftsmanship: Every piece is a testament to precision, artistry, and exceptional attention to detail. By working with small ateliers and ethical partners, we support independent production and prioritize quality over quantity.
Individuality: At the heart of 8000 lies a bold and intuitive design language: rounded, organic forms that speak to both nature and the body. The creative process is instinctive, guided more by feel and form than rigid structure—resulting in pieces that are fluid, sculptural, and uniquely individual.
Legacy: Each piece is designed to be cherished for generations.
Our Craftsmanship
The name 8000 reflects the brand’s essence. The number 8 symbolises infinity and timelessness, while the three zeros evoke the circular shapes of a ring, bracelet, and necklace. It’s an unconventional name—deliberately chosen for its freshness and memorability. Free from typical naming conventions, it captures the brand’s commitment to originality and thoughtful simplicity.
We use only the finest ethically sourced materials, ensuring every gemstone and metal meets our high standards of sustainability and quality. Our process combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques, resulting in timeless pieces that stand as wearable art.
