Alexandru Oancea (Romania)

I have liked jewelry since I have known myself. So much in fact that I tried swallowing my first one when I was two. Back then, my mom managed to stop me. Some fifty years later, I created my first jewelry. Another ring with a coloured stone, definitely not the same ring. And the first handmade jewelry that I was proud of, I gave it to my mom. What I did in the meantime is less relevant. I feel like I wasted time.

Ramona Popescu (Romania)

The idea of this collection is based on the apparent rigidity of geometric forms and the goal was to "deconstruct" them by combining different materials and colours. The inspiration came from nature which is abundant in geometric forms presented in cells, flowers, rocks or living creatures that humans can only aspire to replicate them.
