Designer biography:

With studies and a career in Visual Arts - Ceramics and multiple courses on traditional techniques and alternative materials in contemporary jewelry at Assamblage Jewelry School, the artist creates jewelry with fine porcelain textures, colored resin volumes and sterling silver. Her belief is that through a great design and other forms of art you can create new concepts of wearable art that encourage the wearer to embrace their distinctiveness. Most of her ceramic artworks and jewelry are multi-component ensembles, with textured surfaces, reliefs and intense colors . The game created by the light and shadows transforms the surfaces of her artworks and jewelry into kinetic surfaces.

Collection concept:

The Seed of Life- jewelry collection pays tribute to life and new beginnings by combining shapes, textures and elements that refer to germination and metamorphosis. The forms build a macro morphology of the seeds with a layered construction and an inside that represents a source of active life. This process represents the transformations in our lives, regeneration, and illustrates a spiritual journey. We pass from one stage of life to another as nature passes from one season to another. Jewelry is a way for us to express our unique sense of style and personality and carries a statement, a concept behind it. In this way, the unique jewelry becomes a wearable work of art, a wearable sculpture that is part of the wearer and complements him. The first three pieces from the collection were made and exhibited in the exhibition curated by Andreia Popescu for INHORGENTA 2024 jewelry, watch and gemstone fair.
