Nadia Policarpova is an independent textile jewellery maker, living in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, currently developing her own brand called VINIGRET Studio. Coming from a country with rich cultural and craftsmanship heritage and having spent a huge part of her childhood at her grandmother’s, she got acquainted from an early age with various textile techniques almost every woman of her grandmother’s generation living in the Moldovan countryside used to know.

She draws her inspiration from natural forms and her heritage, using elements of Romanian point lace technique and other embroidery and crochet styles, which she combines in a unique personal way to create playful, decorative and delicate jewelry pieces. Her aim is to preserve and promote traditional textile craftsmanship by rethinking and reinterpreting it in a fresh perspective, in order to keep it contemporary and relevant.
