🌿 About Naturalesa

A Story of Transformation

Hi, I’m Marina Berdila—architect turned jewelry artist, mother of three, and the heart behind Naturalesa.

In 7th grade, an art teacher helped me realize I had something to say—through my hands. That quiet moment of recognition became a thread I would follow for the rest of my life.

I studied architecture, dreaming of creating something meaningful—skyscraper big. I got into university against all odds, coming from a modest family where dreams like that felt far away, and where no one expected I’d make it without years of costly preparation.

I worked hard. I designed. I built. And then I collided with walls: a system that had very little room for feeling—bureaucracy, corruption, and a world driven by profit.

When I discovered sustainable architecture, my hope grew again. I became a certified Passive House designer, studied international standards, and even began doctoral research on sustainablearchitecture. But over time, I realized I was often building hope behind green facades—projects powered more by tax deductions and image than by true care. My heart began to ache again.

Becoming a mother changed me once more. I saw how spaces could nurture or hurt, especially for vulnerable beings. I turned to interior design, and after over 100 projects, I hit a different kind of wall—value clashes, burnout, and the weight of consumerism.

Then came the pandemic. And with it, twins.
Three small daughters. A new country. A new life. A new me.

A New Spark at the Workbench

My jewelry journey started unexpectedly—as a birthday gift workshop in a small Valencian jewelry studio. And once again, I found people who heard my voice, even when I was only whispering. That quiet belief lit something in me I hadn’t felt in years. The feel of wax in my fingers, fire and metal, the translation of emotion into form—it all came rushing back like a language I’d forgotten I spoke.

But that move to Valencia brought more than change. I went through depression—misdiagnosed and treated for nearly three years with medication I didn’t need. I lost touch with myself—my clarity, my creativity.

It was here, in this unfamiliar place, that I slowly began to reclaim my neurodivergent mind, with all its blessings. I learned to embrace my own rhythm, my sensitivity, my intensity. What once felt like “too much” or “not enough” became the very root of my art.

With very little time—but the same fire inside—I began again. Sculpting wax late at night on my kitchen table, I created my first pieces.

And so Naturalesa was born.

And through every shift—architecture, motherhood, starting over—there’s been one person who’s helped me hold it all together: my husband. He’s supported me in every business, challenged my thinking, and stood beside me through every new creative experiment. Naturalesa, like all my paths, carries a part of him too.

Jewelry as Story, Not Trend

I don’t make fast-fashion jewelry. I make quiet symbols. Wearable reminders. Sculptures in recycled silver that carry emotion, memory, and meaning.

Inspired by Mediterranean forms, each piece is shaped by hand, cast with intention, and grounded in my values:
To feel. To connect. To respect. To create.

Why not let a barnacle-shaped ring remind you to hold on to your values, even in life’s strongest currents? 

Why not wear your growth like a shell—shaped by time, storms, and still whole?

What if a pendant could carry a piece of your story—and whisper it back to you when the world gets too loud?

What if jewelry could be more than beautiful—what if it could ground you, guide you, and reconnect you to who you truly are?

Just months after starting, I was honored to have my pieces exhibited in two museums in Madrid. It was more than recognition—it was proof that truthfully made work resonates.

Naturalesa is my way of building again—not walls, but symbols. Not spaces, but stories. And this time, not for approval—but from the heart.

💛 For You

Wearing Naturalesa means wearing more than a piece of jewelry.
It means wearing a story that resonates with your own.
It’s a quiet rebellion against the fast, the empty, the disposable.
A daily reminder of your strength, your softness, your becoming.

It’s for the days when you feel lost—and need to remember your roots.
For the moments when you want to feel grounded, real, connected.
It’s a piece of the Earth, shaped by emotion, made to carry your truth.

Because you deserve jewelry that reflects your inner world—
Not just your outfit.
