Surrealium’s first two jewelry items soar at auction in benefit for Human Rights Watch

On April 17, the annual Voices for Justice dinner, organized by Human Rights Watch, was held at the historic venue Hasselbacken in Stockholm, Sweden. Surrealium, led by founder Damian Ardestani, contributed "The Sea Dolphin and the Moon" and "The Sword of Neptune" from the “Talismans for the Deepseeker” collection. These handcrafted necklaces, forged from sterling silver and adorned with an array of gemstones, pearls, and seashells, embody designs meant to offer protection and promote healing, echoing the advocacy spirit of Human Rights Watch.

The pieces began with a starting bid of $900 (SEK 9,000) and soared to final amounts of $3,500 (SEK 35,000) and $3,200 (SEK 32,000). At Surrealium, we're so very grateful for the opportunity to participate in this year’s auction, a gathering of distinguished creatives who contribute their work to support Human Rights Watch. Our collective effort raised over 3 million SEK, marking a significant philanthropic milestone for all involved.

At the core of Surrealium’s philosophy is the creation of personalized high-jewelry, reflecting a talismanic approach. Each piece is crafted to resonate with the intended wearer, integrating gemstones and pearls with handcrafted chains. These chains serve as channels for energy, their stones carefully selected and arranged for their vibrational qualities.
