Sabina Dragusanu is a London-based jewellery designer
working between contemporary jewellery, craft and collectible design.
Her practice explores cultural memory, heritage craft and material value through sculptural wearable objects. Drawing on Romanian wood carving traditions, woven structures and symbols of continuity, her current work combines carved walnut wood with woven metal frameworks.
Through a balance of digital fabrication and hand finishing, Sabina investigates luxury as something created through craftsmanship, narrative and cultural preservation rather than material rarity alone.
