Marisa Zarb

Marisa Zarb, a mechanical engineer, turned her unfulfilled artistic passion into Peprin®, a jewellery brand that reconnects her with the creativity of her childhood. Inspired by the small Mediterranean island of Malta, the brand’s name – ‘peprin,’ the Maltese word for poppies – symbolizes resilience, as poppies bloom even in the harshest conditions. Through Peprin®, Marisa channels her femininity, creativity, and perseverance into handcrafted jewellery, crafting pieces that celebrate individuality. Her work reflects a belief that the world thrives when people embrace their unique talents, bloom in adversity, and transform personal expression into tangible, meaningful art.
