Kenosis Jewelry (Romania)
Kenosis Jewelry
Collection concept:
"The materials we use are leftovers from Kenosis carpentry, which works in solid wood with noble essences. This joinery harnesses the fantastic knots and characters in the wood, thus using lots of resin to seal the cracks. We are in a privileged place to use everything that falls off the workbench, in the workshop. Most of these 'scraps' come with waves of resin that give voice to little bits of wood. Wood and resin are our staples in creating these jewels.
We have been working with Roma men in our workshop for 7 years. Their wives also needed a job, and seeing exceptional pieces of wood every day that were destined for the fire, we found a perfect combination, to get together with the ladies and grind these woods to become unique jewels.
We love to see people flourish, and these jewels help empower Roma women. They are given not only a voice but a wonderful place in our society. People who choose Kenosis jewellery, know that behind them stand hardworking hands, proudly polishing unique pieces to become adornment not only physically, but also soulfully.
We imagine for the future, an extended community that learns to reuse more and more different materials for the good of this planet, where both man and nature are given a sacred space to coexist. Our deepest wish is that our jewels inspire life and a holistic understanding of our existence ."
