Sabina Dragusanu
Unlimited Connection

This necklace is connecting two pieces of wood, each embroidered with different symbols: one with iPhones 'wheat ear', and the other with Wi-Fi 'flowers'. It is a metaphor of how smartphones are pretty much useless without a connection to the internet, and how this keeps us stuck in a vicious circle of consumerism.

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.
