Tonu Vika

About

Victoria Tonu graduated from the Interdisciplinary Course of Art and Design at the University of Huddersfield, UK. Since 2013, she has specialized in jewelry, with collage and engraving also being areas of interest and activity. Vika Tonu Design was born with the first series of rings titled "Dimiourgia," revealing a universe charged with symbolism and power. By using the four basic shapes and associating them with the four universal forces, Victoria aims to convey a cognitive message to the wearers of her jewelry, offering them objects as totems that elusively recall the elements that shape our personality. Her style can be described as minimalist, geometric, and simplifying, striving to reach the essence of things.
