Singular Jewelry for Singular People

About Decimononic

1.- What’s Decimononic?

Decimononic was born in 2010 as a creative project. Our members believe in the beauty of craftwork, the power of experimentation and the value of singularity. Our main sources of inspiration are artistic and literary movements of late 19th and early 20th centuries: Symbolism and Decadentism, Art Nouveau and Art Decó, the darkest side of the Victorian era and its corresponding retrofuturisms… making the old new and the new old.

At present we focus our efforts in the design and manufacture of unique creations, mainly handcrafted fine jewelry and accessories.

2.- Who are involved in this?

All this began as a two-headed initiative:

Irene LOPEZIrene LOPEZ has always been interested in several handicrafts. She started an initiatory journey to the world of jewelry in 2010, in which she has improved her skills as self-educated designer and her technical knowledge by the hand of master jewelers like Alejandro Allocco or Brian Eburah.

JF ALFAYAJose Francisco ALFAYA has a professional professional career in the field of SME management, focusing on the jewelry industry since 2010. He is a self-taught photographer and designer, including computer-aided jewelry design techniques.

3.- Vision, Mission and values

    • We have a Vision, aimed to give shape to our future: pioneering singularity.
    • We have a Mission, our reason for being: Empowering you through avantgarde fine jewels conceived as ‘Reminders of Singularity’.
    • We have Values, our principles: Authenticity and Exclusivity, Creativity, Social Responsibility.

4.- Our Motto: True Singularity

Where does it come from? Just have a look at the following definition drawn from Oxford Dictionaries:

SINGULAR

Pronunciation: /ˈsɪŋgjʊlə/
adjective

o 1 Grammar (of a word or form ) denoting or referring to just one person or thing
+ single; unique:she always thought of herself as singular, as his only daughter
o 2 exceptionally good or great; remarkable:he had the singular good fortune not to die in the trenches
+ strange or eccentric in some respect:no explanation accompanied this rather singular statement

We do think that a statement like “True Singularity” summarizes our commitments.

5.- What does ‘Decimononic’ mean?

Our name refers to the Spanish word ‘Decimonónico’ (adjectival form of the ordinal number ‘decimonono’, the 19th). ‘Decimonónico’ means that something is related to the 19th century and, considering that this period is one of our main sources of inspiration, we considered ‘Decimononic’ to be very evocative. We discovered later that ‘Decimonónico’ is translated into Catalonian language as ‘Decimononic’, with the same meaning as in Spanish.

6.- Decimononic Commitments

What we deliver:
