I s it materials, designs, or craftsmanship that makes jewelry precious? That’s the question Denisa Piatti ponders as she creates her one-of-a-kind sea-inspired creations. Reflecting the original beauty of seaweed as it washes ashore, she’s managed to capture the natural elements by recreating it with ethically sourced materials. The result is a stunning collection of adornments that add a unique touch to accessorize any outfit. For Denisa, her love affair with art began when she was 13 and went with her father to visit the Secondary School of Applied Arts in Slovakia. “Right there and then, I fell in love with the art of creating jewelry,” she tells us. Not long after, she enrolled in an intensive program to broaden her skills in jewelry making techniques. She then went on to earn her BA in Three Dimensional Design at art school in Scotland.
