Ieva Jankovska is a contemporary jewellery designer based in Dundee. Melding her Latvian heritage with influences gained from her time living and studying in Scotland, she seeks to portray a minimal, yet elegant style in her aesthetic. Using both playful elements and an exploration of shape and form expressed in a range of materials, she strives to capture the feeling of curiosity. Throughout her work, Ieva heavily references the activity of craft through meticulous mark-making and processes involving careful, repetitive motion, such as enamelling. Taking inspiration from Dundee's vibrant creative environment this collection revolves around an XO, the central element blending art, design and technology. XO is a charm that combines two symbols - the cross and circle, superimposed to create an abstract, 3D representation of a contemporary talisman. The design is inspired by the Bauhaus movement, which sought to synthesise art and craftsmanship with industrial production.
