We, the Archer Tribe-of-Women, come together as mothers, daughters, sisters and women to collaborate as artists, designers, writers, teachers, photographers, dancers and entrepreneurs to bring to you The Porch of Maidens, in celebration of women around the world.
Our mission is to inspire women of all ages to stand in their own light and inner splendor, to reveal the essence of feminine strength, power, grace, beauty, style and timelessness, and convey an innermost confidence while living their true purpose in the world.
We are here to celebrate, explore and bring to light the gifts, vision and wisdom of remarkable women from around the world.
It is with honor that we showcase the work of Masha Archer, avant-garde artist and designer. Her visionary ideas and highly original creations have influenced many areas of the arts, including fashion, adornment, costuming and dance.
Recognized worldwide, Masha Archer has created an extraordinary style in jewelry; when not worn, her pieces rest on wall, like icons and other precious objects of art.
Her necklaces are breathtaking; coral, lapis, pearl, jade, amber, bone, African Trade Beads, turquoise touch the skin. Her art is an embodiment of the spirit of color, reborn in the shape of beads, whose function is that of body sculpture, creating an aura of splendor, setting them and their wearer apart from the ordinary.
Each handmade piece is unique and is named after it’s inspiration, such as the “Porch of Maidens”, from “The Acropolis Series”, “Canyon Road” or “Evening Rain”, from “The Monsoon Series”, evoking a sense of the ancient past, faraway lands and breathtaking adventure, yet making a dramatic contemporary statement.
Nothing can describe the thrill of slipping into a Masha necklace!
To describe Masha’s jewelry, we must create a new language, one that speaks to the grandeur of the human spirit.
