Designer biography:
Zaharia Livia is a Romanian architect who started developing her interest in jewelry making through digital means around 2018. She wanted to explore the possibilities offered by 3d modeling and how digital creations can come to life. It began with larger objects like the Spotlight pavilion of 2019 and smaller ones like engagement rings for friends going simultaneously. Since then, she has opened up to the public on social media and the Internet. Nowadays, her pieces can be considered unique in each case, featuring shape or setting challenges, movement, or interchangeability.
Collection concept:
Survival -or being lost in a lush jungle where everything is as changing as it is beautiful. Deep colors remind of those plants which may or may not be dangerous. The only certain thing is that there is Beauty of different shapes and sizes which sometimes can morph into function or form. Each item is unique in its own way and tells the tale of survival. An ever-changing deep forest and its hidden paths. All pieces were cast in silver after being modeled in 3d. The mechanisms of some have had to be manually assembled.
