MONOCO BRAND
It combines innovative elements with traditional materials often forgotten or unusual for jewellery using different techniques and rescuing the essence of each element.
Her work aims to propose, suggest, provoke a reading between lines that encourages a personal interpretation by whoever wears her jewellery and who observes it.
They are jewels that inspire, jewels with personality, jewels that relate, that identify and interpret; jewels that mark a moment, a feeling and passion.
In addition to her personal proposals, she also designs by order, generating exclusive pieces.
