Denisa Piatti Jewellery

Accessories – Washington, D.C.

Denisa was born in Slovakia, where she studied goldsmithing with a focus on traditional jewelry techniques for four years. She supplemented her skills in craftsmanship with an additional BA Honours degree in 3-dimensional design in Scotland. There she was introduced to a wide range of jewellery-atypical materials, which she applied in her work. After graduating with a first class degree, she moved to Zanzibar, Tanzania and worked as a jewellery tutor and designer for a women empowerment project. She was also commissioned as a designer assistant and a bench jeweler for a Tanzanian designer at that time. Denisa is currently living in Washington DC, where she combines precious with non-precious materials in the form of jewellery and stimulates the wearer or viewer to ponder about what makes jewellery precious.
