Golden details on floral creations

  • • Diana’s creations are known for their distinctive botanical patterns
  • • In her work, she combines her fascination for painting and sculpture
  • • Each piece of jewellery she creates is unique, meticulously shaped and painted with gold details

Diana Cojocaru studied painting for 23 years and has a Master’s degree in architecture. She learned to paint from a master painter for 11 years and is self-taught in porcelain sculpture. Realising that working with this material allowed her to translate her artistic vision into 3D objects, Diana started practising her craft at home around 2016, playing with porcelain clay and discovering its properties and limitations. It took about two years of self-teaching before her first collection of jewellery was ready. The adornments and interior design objects that she creates are inspired by nature, often rendering botanical elements in vibrant colours. Diana's jewellery pieces are typically wavy and crafted with great attention to aesthetics. The making process includes successive stages, from cutting forms without moulds and shaping or carving them in palms to glazing and painting with gold.
