Marcon Borg Caruana, owner and creator of Atelier Nineteen Wearable Art, draws inspiration from her parents—her father, a skilled woodworker, and her mother, a master of sewing and crochet—who instilled in her a love for craftsmanship. Founded in 2011, Atelier Nineteen breathes new life into antique watch parts, transforming them into sustainable, nostalgic, and contemporary jewellery pieces that celebrate the beauty of reuse and reinvention.
Atelier Nineteen creates unique, artisanal jewellery deeply rooted in Maltese craftsmanship. Established in 2011 and rebranded in 2019, it stands out as Malta’s first jewellery line to transform antique watch parts and vintage clock components into wearable art. Each piece is meticulously handcrafted, blending historical nostalgia with a contemporary twist.
By upcycling damaged and discarded materials, Atelier Nineteen champions sustainability and environmental consciousness. Every design reflects a journey through time, allowing wearers to carry a meaningful connection to history while celebrating innovative artistry. Custom pieces are also available, inviting customers to contribute their vision to this eco-friendly creative process.
This artistry is distinctly Maltese, with each piece embodying the island’s cultural ethos of preservation and reinvention.
