silver sheet is my canvas, Fire is my Brush
Jewelry is my art
Müge Salmaner
You know her when you see her. She’s the one wandering through the woods, dancing with the fairies, her feet firmly rooted in the earth. She makes a statement without saying a word. Her jewelry is more than adornment—it’s a sacred part of her, a reflection of her soul’s journey and her connection to the earth. Picture her at gatherings where art, music, and nature intertwine, meeting kindred spirits in an intentional space that invites her to dream, heal, and manifest her desires. She walks among wildflowers, dances to the beats of drums around the bonfire, each piece of jewelry she wears carrying the energy of the sacred spaces she inhabits—a radiant force of nature, untamed and free.
the beginning
Hi, I'm Müge Salmaner, the creative force behind the scenes. Bonfire Jewelry Design came to life over a decade ago when I first stepped into a jewelry studio and fell in love with metal and fire. Wearing my initial creations at art and music festivals, I quickly realized how much people resonated with my unique designs—especially women who, like me, embrace hippie, witchy, and earthy aesthetics—pieces that blend the energy of nature with the spirit of festivals. What began as a creative escape grew into a brand rooted in self-expression, sustainability, and a deep connection to the natural world. Every piece I craft is infused with intention, inviting you to carry a bit of nature’s magic with you, celebrate your individuality, and reconnect with a slower, more mindful way of living. Through Bonfire Jewelry Design, I hope to empower you to express your authentic self and honor the beauty within and around you.
The Inspiration
My journey into jewelry making began as a way to heal and reconnect with myself. After years of academic rigor and burnout, I craved something that felt tactile and soulful—something that allowed me to create with my hands. The day I stepped into a jewelry studio for the first time changed my life. What started as a creative outlet quickly blossomed into a profound love for working with metal and fire. I knew I had found my path. Silver sheet became my canvas, and fire became my brush. Jewelry became the art through which I could immortalize nature, turning fleeting moments into something tangible and lasting.
I grew up in the heart of Istanbul, where East meets West, but I’ve spent most of my adult life in the Pacific Northwest. Inspired by the beauty of nature, music, and art, I craft pieces that make you feel like you’re wearing a piece of the earth itself. Like Frida Kahlo said, “I paint flowers so they will not die”—I create jewelry so nature’s magic can live forever, carried with you as a part of who you are.
