Independent designer and metalsmith Lydia McEvoy makes unique jewellery with a human touch from her Barcelona workshop. She draws inspiration from the journey of the human psyche, bridging temporal learnings and eternal growth through introspection. Her pieces carry a minimal aesthetic with organic textures creating raw, intuitive designs.

Lydia has a tender romanticisation for the innately human relationship with handmade objects. She believes such precious physical manifestations gift us with slowness, desire and beauty while embodying memory and meaning. In an industry filled with production moulds and cloned jewellery, she resists by keeping her pieces imperfectly one-of-a-kind, beautifully solid and radiating the love with which they were made.

Since beginning her metalsmithing journey in Florence in 2016, Lydia has deepened her practice with the ancient technique of sandcasting which she uses for most of her work. Through years of experimentation, she introduced stone setting to her designs, carefully sourcing ethical and traceable gemstones.

In 2026 Musa Mundi took a grand leap of faith and with the help of community support, birthed a physical space in the neighbourhood of Sant Antoni, Barcelona. Home to Lyd's workbench and an array of antique tools, it also serves as a communal space of learning where the material knowledge of her craft is passed on through intimate workshops.
