ABOUT US
At (UN)POLISHED we offer you a range of artistic jewellery, prints and originals.
In our humble opinion, art is what makes you feel things, challenges you but also puts your mind at ease. You can experience it, put it on your wall or carry it on your neck.
Handcrafted in Poland, curated in London.
We truly believe in our artists and admire their work. It made us want to do for them what we do best – spread the word, create wider audiences and grant them visibility.
We believe art should be raw, soulful, original and unique.

Her mind is deeply analytical, he ideas are rooted in common sense. She gets inspired by finding innovative solutions to complex problems. Her ideas are fresh, but never raw, as she deeply cares about the quality of her contribution to the discussion.

Learn the personal story behind our logo:
The (UN)POLISHED logo was created by our founder’s life partner and the inspiration came straight from their personal love story. While dating as teenagers, they sought romance by using a secret language only they could understand. Quite quickly settling on Morse code, they spent years sending each other sweet messages and love letters in dashes and dots.
When designing the logo, Magdalena’s partner made it personal and unique by encrypting in it a part of their history.
If you turn the rectangles into dashes and squares into dots, from left to right the logo will read ‘art’. And art is precisely what we consider (UN)POLISHED jewellery to be.
