Designer biography:

DANIELA CĂȚOI is a Bucharest-based Romanian porcelain jewelry designer.
She has an artistic education, holding a Bachelor's degree (2010) and a Master's degree (2013) in Graphics from the Bucharest National University of Arts (Romania).
Daniela's works mainly focus on nature, with a concentration on the small, often unnoticed details of natural elements, structures, and textures.

The creation process is fully supported by serious photographic documentation or a sensitive, personal experience.
Her main focus is on studying and developing new forms of contemporary porcelain jewelry using themes from the fascinating surrounding world.

Collection concept:

Throughout my life, I've struggled with an inner conflict between the obvious beauty of nature and the hidden beauty that I discovered mostly during childhood. Nature's Hidden Beauties Collection is an artistic expression that was born from my personal experience of insect phobia. Being acutely aware that my time spent in nature has marked me, I dedicated myself to studying the intricate details of the forms that once troubled my perception of beauty. This journey led me to the discovery of the fascinating complexity of insects and ultimately served as a necessary step in my personal healing process.
All of the pieces are crafted entirely by hand from porcelain and finished with pigments, lusters, and colloidal gold. Each piece is also accessorized with metal elements.
