About the Artist

Hi, I’m Chiara, the founder of Rag Doll, based in Austria. My passion for jewelry started with repairing and reshaping pieces to better reflect my vision, but also because I found joy and satisfaction in the detailed work. Over time, this love grew into something much bigger – a way to encourage others to embrace their true selves.

For a long time, I just felt out of place. Whenever I experienced societal norms or expectations, I felt alienated and disconnected, because I sensed that this was not meant for my life. I became numb trying to find a way out of this nonsense. The moment I realized that true fulfilment doesn’t come from escaping discomfort, but from moving through it I was able to transform my pain into something new. Rag Doll is the result of that transformation – a space where pain became purpose and creativity became a way to feel alive again.

This journey is at the heart of every piece I create. Rag Doll exists to empower you to express yourself truly authentic, to challenge the status quo, and to break free from mainstream expectations. Rag Doll is more than just a jewerly brand – it’s a movement that encourages you to carve your one path, to find the strength to stand apart and to find beauty in contradiction.

My creative process is a deeply intuitive journey for me. Creativity starts blossoming once my mind is switched off. There’s an unmistakeable magic in watching inspiration spark and transform into an idea, then suddenly take shape in my hands. In those moments, I lose track of time and become completely absorbed in the flow of creation, feeling both grounded and uplifted. It’s a state where intuition leads, possibilities feel endless, and the act of making becomes its own reward.

Each Rag Doll piece is meticulously hand-crafted with love by me in my little studio, using only high-quality, durable materials like stainless steel. I prioritize sourcing from within Europe to support local businesses and minimize environmental impact. Each item is created just for you, with the same care and passion that sparked this journey.

Wear your truth and step into a world where your uniqueness is celebrated and a community of kindred spirits await you.
