Jewelry has all the time in the world because it dilates time. When I work, I don’t look at my watch. And my watch doesn’t look at me either because I stopped wearing it. I will create a jewel that will allow me to live forever. I’m taking my time, and I will do it happily. And if I am happy, I hope to give joy to others when it is their turn to open the door.

For me, a piece of jewelry is not worn. You wear it to let yourself be carried into its world.
It is more than just an accessory which enhances a fashion context. It is a sign with its own message, creating unexpected relationships between an idea which has just discovered new means of expression and a shape, uniquely articulated by the juxtaposition of materials (silver, brass but also precarious materials encountered accidentally - pieces of wood, paper, etc). The jewelry becomes an unconventional collage, a metamorphosis of the initial purpose of the materials and also of the bearer which is in touch with it.
Alexandra Ungurelu’s attention to detail is one of the main characteristics of her work, followed by the transposition of everyday influences, be it the city’s architecture or the textures found in nature, the resulting geometry is important and clear in her jewelry. The creative process transmits emotion as well as a message: every piece created by her is one meant to represent more than the joining of metal and precious stones, it is a symbol, made to travel both time and space.

Monom bears the mark of the designer's personality, the objects being created in a calculated way, with
a special dedication for each piece. It creates architectures that, once dressed, potentiate both geometry and organic by contrast.

In 2018, after completing courses at Assamblage, I started to think about adding jewelry design to my independent working activity.

Looking back, everything I did before attending the Assamblage School of Contemporary Jewelry courses, were but quests for meaning. I started making jewelry in a very monotonous period of my life, when I was no longer finding my bearings and exhilaration whatsoever. I was in need of a creative offline activity and jewelry-making came to light as the only way that made me feel really good.

It all began as a game, along with a friend, and it soon became a serious hobby. It reminded me of a passion I had in my teenage years - painting, and I’ve discovered it combines rather well with leather. So I started crafting some bracelets, than a necklace, until, all of a sudden, I had quite a few pieces created.

Working with jewelry was not love at first sight, but we got along since I had been managing a small jewelry business. My true passion has been art and civilization history, and I studied Art History, at UNArte Bucharest. Art History won me over, but daily contact with jewellery made me pay more attention to the meaning, origins and aesthetics of wearable ornaments. This is how I began a new story, the story of my jewelry collection.
