chloe romanos
Cloelea Jewellery creations are designed and individually handmade by Chloe Romanos, a French expatriate, living in Stanford in the Vale.
Her work focuses on crafting statement jewellery, using sustainable precious materials to produce small or large pieces of wearable art: "All the pieces I design and handcraft are meaningful, they are like little messages."
She studied art history and archaeology in Paris, ancient pottery in Mycenae (Greece), wrote a thesis on travelling artisans in Late Bronze Age Greece and discovered silversmithing and goldsmithing in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.
Using traditional techniques, she fashions silver and gold to construct jewellery with a story. She also likes to include a variety of precious and semi-precious stones.
Chloe has always been fascinated by ancient cultures, and the way objects wear and age over time. Her background in archaeology has inspired her to use texture effects to try to capture the aspect and precious nature of ancient objects or archaeological artefacts dug up from the ground.
She also get her inspiration from her art history studies in Paris, with a fascination for Art Nouveau, in particular the forms of winged animals of all sorts and the dramatic use of lines and curves.
Her imagination can as well be guided by inspiring places she has travelled to or books and poems she has read.
