DIAMOND RING (#COUPLEGOALS)

The free-hand embroidery found on this ring is referencing to the way in which social media is making everything look better than it actually is, and it is making people wish they were living that fake life. This piece is describing the #couplegoals hashtag in particular, which is used to describe a lot of happy-looking couples photos, many with huge diamond engagement rings and lots of heart emojis around them, which look very idealised and story-like, but not 100% true.

Born in Piatra Neamt, Romania, Sabina Dragusanu started making jewellery when she was only 12 years old, and what started as a hobby, soon became a passion. She moved to London in 2014 to study jewellery, and graduated from Central Saint Martins, UAL, in 2017 with a BA Hons) in Jewellery Design. Her graduate collection ‘Contemporary Embroidery’ was awarded ‘Best Design’ by Theo Fennell and was selected to take part in the ‘Marzee International Graduate Show 2017’. Sabina’s craftsmanship turns away from conventional jewellery materials. Highly passionate about nature, her work shows the different ways in which she tries to express that.
