The Story Behind the Norias Collection: The Ancient Water Wheel

In the heart of the Levant, where history flows as naturally as the rivers, there’s a story that inspired the Norias Collection at MAISON OBERGINE. This collection is more than jewelry—it’s a tribute to resilience, creativity, and the timeless ingenuity of survival: the water wheel.

Imagine a time when sun-drenched villages relied on the rhythm of the land. The water wheel, or noria, was more than an invention; it was life itself—a source of hope and connection. As it spun, drawing water from rivers to nourish the crops, it became a symbol of harmony between nature and the people who depended on it.

The Norias Collection takes its inspiration from this ancient icon. Each piece reflects the spirit of the noria—circular, unending, full of movement and life. With intricate detailing, smooth curves, and understated elegance, each item honours the noria’s journey and its profound roots in our shared history.

This collection embodies resilience. It carries the strength of nature and the perseverance of humanity. Just like the noria, we each face our own cycles and challenges, leaving behind stories that endure.

Whether worn as a tribute to heritage or as a symbol of personal strength, the Norias Collection is more than just adornment. It’s a piece of history, a story to carry with you.
