Mike Årsjö and Emelica Lidman met in 2007 when they were studying metal craft in Stockholm. Both went on to complete a Bachelor degree at Konstfack in 2010. Following this, Mike continued at Konstfack and completed a Masters degree in 2012, while Emelica moved to London and completed her Masters at Royal College of Art. 

In 2012, after Emelica moved back to Stockholm, she and Mike discussed the absences in men's jewelry, and the fact that so many jewelry makers specifically go into women's jewelry. This realization was a stepping-stone for the pair to start MURKY, along with their mutual appreciation for a darker aesthetic of silver. 

MURKY sees the hand as the origin and centre of its vision. The hand embodies the silent/unspoken statement. MURKY determines the hands to be the forefront of its movement. The human strife comes alive in the hands. Their line is handcrafted in Stockholm, and values the permanence of precious metal and craft.
