Biography:
My name is Alexandra Bardac and I'm currently living in Bucharest, Romania. I am an up and coming contemporary jewellery designer and I am on the road to becoming an Architect. My passion for making started from my Bachelor years, where we were always coupling our projects with hand made models made from a variety of materials: paper, timber, metal, recycled plastic. Further down the line I discovered the world of traditional goldsmiths and the unique modern hand crafted jewellery.
My signature style is contemporary, curvaceous and elegant. Each piece I design is made in my workshop using traditional techniques, yet still trying to instigate novelty in each piece. Trying to push the limits of what can be made from precious metals or even through stone setting ideas.
Collection Concept: Rise Up
Rise up is a collection that wants to tackle the idea of growth and rebirth in times of severe social persecutions. Starting from a stone, the soul, the piece grows outwards and reaches for new heights. The idea behind the execution is that everyone grows differently and has his/her own path towards the goal they set.Hence why each four claw stone setting is different and ultimately grows in a unique way or direction. Each piece represents an individual journey that starts from a want for reform or improvement and finishes in an elevated identity.
