The "Crustacean" collection continues an aesthetic exploration of nomadic ritualism through jewelry. With objects collected from the shores of southwestern Iceland and North America, Kria re-imagines relics born of the sea in a continuing veneration of the form and of Nature as a house of spirituality.

A continuing motif for Kria is the isolation of a singular element of a natural being---the abdomen shell of a crayfish, the vertebrae of a transoceanic migratory bird, the bud of a flowering tree branch, the teeth of sheep, the discarded talon of a barn owl---to create a ritualistic object evoking the mysticism and magic inherent in the human existence in Nature.

The inspiration for Kria was found on a black lava beach in eastern Iceland in the summer of 2006 when Jóhanna Methúsalemsdóttir found a skeleton of the bird by the same name nestled in the sand, With the birth of her second daughter soon after, came the birth of the Kria collection in 2007.
