The fascination for the gypsy woman is both culture-specific and culture independent. What is considered forbidden or regarded as taboo draws on cognitive schemes and emotional tensions and exceeds cultural specificities and temporal boundaries.

If we could tell the stories of this women we should tell them through their sounding and detailed jewellery that adorned their bodies with courage and femininity.

For the Roma women every jewellery was a statement of cultural identity, enchantment and delightfulness.

Enchant & Delight is a new jewellery collection created by MBQ in collaboration with Adina Marin and Radu Ion (Nevers), one of the most skilled silversmiths in Bucharest. The collection regards the Roma women in the modern society as a cultural and social impact for the artistic representation. Every piece of jewellery in the collection tells the story of a Roma woman or girl who made a statement in the artistic field which reverberated in the social conscience of men.

All the pieces are handcrafted in silver, copper and wool by old and new techniques with the help of simple tools and fire.
