📢 Welcome to our newest NAJ member - Lenaginarium Before embarking on a jewellery career, Lenaginarium was a costume and props designer, and this experience brings a sophisticated narrative dimension to her jewellery design, transforming each piece into a purposeful story. Her commitment to craftsmanship and meaning ensures that every creation is not just an accessory but a part of an enduring story, resonating with depth and character. She describes her work as recycling and upscaling jewellery, but it transcends merely giving old pieces a new life. Working with significant antique and vintage jewellery elements, she transforms them into contemporary pieces with new meanings. She uses old French cameos and intaglios, Italian micro mosaic plates, coral beads, and other components of pre-loved jewellery, imbuing them with fresh ideas and interpretations. Operating at the intersection of art and the fine plasticity of jewellery forms, she experiments with techniques to transform the pieces' form, meaning, and sometimes functionality.
