The Archive: The PU Leather Choker That Started Something

The PU leather choker with the large O-ring and removable nipple chains was one of these pieces. It no longer features in the main collection — but the thinking […]
The Piece Someone Asked For: The Story of the REPIOR NERVE
Some pieces are designed. Others are asked into existence. The REPIOR NERVE — the Cervical-Apex-Pelvic Tri-Axis piece in stainless steel — began as a commission. A client wrote to ask whether Pilar could make something that connected three specific anatomical points simultaneously: the cervical, the apex, and the pelvic axis, through a single continuous wire […]
From Wire to Skin: How a REPIOR Piece Is Made
Every REPIOR piece begins as raw wire. Copper, stainless steel or aluminium — cut to length, held in a pair of pliers, and shaped entirely by hand. No moulds. No casting. No machinery beyond the tools in Pilar’s hands. This is not a romantic description. It is a practical one. Non-piercing jewellery designed around the […]
The Origin of the Interlocking RR — The REPIOR Signature
Every mark has a reason. The REPIOR interlocking RR did not arrive from a branding exercise or a design agency. It came from the same place every REPIOR piece comes from — from the specific logic of wire, form, and what happens when two identical shapes meet each other and lock. Where it begins REPIOR […]
Understanding Hypoallergenic Metals in Body Jewellery
The word hypoallergenic is everywhere in the jewellery industry. It appears on packaging, in product descriptions, on websites.

At REPIOR, we have been selecting and […]

How to Care for Your REPIOR Non-Piercing Jewellery

The Ultimate Intimate Jewellery Gift Guide
By Pilar, Designer & Founder of REPIOR® · 8 min read Intimate jewellery is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give — and one of the most misunderstood. Done well, it says: I thought about your body specifically. I chose something made for exactly how you are made. Done poorly — generic sizing, […]
Anatomical Jewellery — The REPIOR Philosophy
By Pilar, Designer & Founder of REPIOR® · 8 min read Anatomical jewellery is a term I coined for REPIOR because no existing term was accurate enough. Not body jewellery — too broad. Not intimate jewellery — too contextual. Not bespoke — too focused on customisation. Anatomical gets closer to what I actually mean: jewellery […]
