WELKOM BIJ VERSO MAGAZINE Is 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. Denisa draws on her experiences gained during her world travels and while living abroad in Zanzibar. In fact, this sea-inspired collection, aptly named The Seaweed Collection, is a direct homage to the Zanzibar women who would painstakingly harvest seaweed. Denisa uses acrylic plastics formed

Denisa draws on her experiences gained during her world travels and while living abroad in Zanzibar. In fact, this sea-inspired collection, aptly named The Seaweed Collection, is a direct homage to the Zanzibar women who would painstakingly harvest seaweed. Denisa uses acrylic plastics formed into organic shapes as a way of contrasting these forms and brings them all together with precious metals.

She feels that it’s important for her as well as all makers of jewelry to make a change in that regard. Perhaps this sea-inspired line is her way of making waves in the industry to bring about a sea change, one that will do the industry, as well as the entire world, a whole lot of good in the most beautiful of ways.
