About

It all started when...

Hi there, I'm Flavia - the hands and heart behind Atelier Nómada contemporary jewellery.

Originally from Brasov, Romania, I pursued a career in Architecture and Urban Design. My journey led me to Germany, Mexico, and Colombia before landing in Australia, where I decided to follow my dream and become a jewellery designer.

What is Atelier Nómada all about? 

atelier [əˈtɛlɪeɪ/] - noun - a workshop or studio, especially one used by an artist or designer.

nomad [ˈnəʊmad/] - noun - any wanderer; itinerant. 

You've probably already guessed it - it's the wandering studio! I consider myself a modern nomad, having lived away from my birthplace for almost twenty years.

Atelier Nómada is about creating beautiful and unique pieces of jewellery that will make you feel truly special. Each piece is meticulously crafted with love, attention to detail, and using only the finest quality materials.

For the love of Art!

My jewellery and object designs embody my nomadic journey, brought to life in precious metals as wearable pieces of art. Inspiration stems from my travels, employing composition, clusters, flora, and experimental form/function principles.

Sustainability

At Atelier Nómada, we are dedicated to sustainable practices aimed at minimising our impact on the environment. Our commitment encompasses, but is not limited to, the following practices:

• Use of Recycled Metals: We use recycled silver and gold. To maximise this commitment, all "off-cut" material generated in the manufacturing process is collected, melted down, and recycled into new stock.

• Use of Ethically Mined Precious Gemstones: We source precious gemstones, such as sapphires and diamonds, from reputable Australian merchants who adhere to ethical mining practices.

• Chemical Conscious Manufacturing: We avoid the use of harsh, toxic chemicals in our manufacturing process. Instead, we opt for biodegradable or natural products that are safe for the environment.

• Local Support: Atelier Nómada proudly supports local businesses, prioritising the sourcing of supplies from Australian businesses whenever possible. This not only contributes to the local economy but also empowers our fellow local suppliers.

Our dedication to sustainability is woven into every aspect of our craft, ensuring that each piece tells a story of ethical and environmentally conscious creation. As part of our commitment to continuous improvement, we welcome suggestions and will implement new and better practices whenever they become available. Your input is highly valued in our journey towards a more sustainable future.
