Bilyana creates unique jewelry whose organic simplicity flows naturally from her Mediterranean upbringing. Her pieces are subtle and eclectic, designed to enhance women’s inner beauty the way the best accessories always do. Bilyana’s jewelry is made with a few basic materials, primarily sterling silver, soft leather cords, and semiprecious stones.
“I like to make pieces that adapt to the natural contours of a woman’s body. This is an expression of some values that are fundamental to me, like gracefulness and authenticity—which you really see with someone who is just being herself,” says Bilyana. Her pieces are never flashy or flamboyant, reflecting her view that jewelry should not call attention to itself or overshadow the wearer. It should highlight those elemental qualities a woman considers most appealing and characteristic of herself. This is the true meaning of adornment. “My jewelry is ideal for the kind of person who’s interested in a subtle effect . . . For me, and the people attracted to my work, it’s really about seeing the woman, not the piece.” Bilyana today lives and works with her family in Brooklyn, NY.
