Biography:
Every piece of Ioana Enache Jewelry is designed by the artist herself. She creates unique custom and limited series of jewelry meant to bring beauty, joy and delight to your senses. From the vision of the first line to the finishing process, each piece is crafted by the artist and close partners. All the jewelry pieces are handcrafted in precious metals with natural precious and semiprecious stones, as well as cultured pearls.
It all started when Ioana Enache-Bordea (b. 1984) felt that her profession should be one that she would do with full pleasure and dedication. One in which she would enter a different Universe where Creation is the Master. One in which she can work on her jewelry the same way as she works on developing herself, from scratch to the finishing phase. With a degree in Architecture, Ioana first studied jewelry in Romania (2010) at Assamblage - Contemporary Jewelry School where she did multiple modules and workshops, including the Cire Perdue Technique and Nunome Zougan Technique. In 2017 she continued her studies in Florence, Italy at Alchimia Contemporary Jewelry School and at Maestro Alessandro Dari Jewelry School. Ioana continued her studies with the Drawing Jewelry course at David Craft Centre de Formation in Geneva, Switzerland, where she lived for two years.
Collection Concept: ATELIER
The “ATELIER” collection represents a whole and acceptance of the human states which are at the opposite pole: the contrasts between the states (pearl, oxidized black silver, 24k gold leaf), how one highlights the other and stands out, together forming a whole and contributing to the evolution of the soul.
Just as the lotus flower grows in cloudy waters and mud, rising to the surface at sunrise, keeping its color intact, so does the pearl, also an element of purity, "lifts" each piece of the collection from the oxidized silver. A beautiful lotus growing out of mud and cloudy waters means overcoming obstacles in life, turning bad things into good things even in the darkest and saddest situations. I chose the name “ATELIER” for this collection because we are the main “workshop” in which we “manufacture” ourselves.
