LAURA SIMA
Biography:
The journey in jewelry design started in 2017, at Assamblage Contemporary Jewelry School. The attraction to the jewelry world opened a different path – from adorning to creating. Attracted by shapes, sometimes geometrical, sometimes organic, chunky or delicate, by colors, or just letting the metal speak, I create my jewelry mainly in silver.
Collection Concept: Of Steel
My personal road to jewelry passed by many encounters with the world of metalsmithing, mainly as a spectator. The fascination of forging, using fire, plasticity of the metal, the different stages it goes before being a finished product lead me to choose damascus steel as the main feature of this collection. And since a long time I, as many others, could not access my studio due to pandemics, it stands also as the resilience of each and everyone of us, the core string that gives us power to stay true to ourselves.
