Snow in Spring

The embroidery design used on this necklace has been created by combining two traditional symbols that represent the coming of spring (cuckoo birds and 'the dance of young billy goats'). On the other side of the piece of driftwood, some snowflakes can be noticed: they represent the climate change that can be noticed more and more often, leading to heavy snow being present in spring, an unusual time for such weather.

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.
