About MONOM
In romanian - monom, monome neutral noun
* 1. Algebric expression involving only multiplication and division signs.
* 2. Figurative String, unbroken succession (one after another).
MONOM was born in 2016 in Cluj-Napoca from the passion of the founder Georgiana Ciceo for minimalist jewelry, contemporary design and geometry in all its forms.
The brand started as a small workshop where pieces were created by hand, by the founder herself, emphasizing geometry, simplicity and timeless elegance. From the beginning, the philosophy of the brand was based on the idea that jewelry should be both functional and aesthetic.
Over the years, MONOM has grown organically, becoming one of the most appreciated designer jewelry brands in Romania. MONOM collections are characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes and a modern, minimalist aesthetic. Each piece is made with attention to detail, quality materials such as silver, silver with gold and gold, and the production process remains mostly artisanal.
Today, MONOM is present both online and in several physical stores in Romania and Europe, where you can discover collections and interact directly with the brand. Monom's success proves that there is a growing audience that appreciates contemporary design and jewelry with a story, created locally. The brand continues to grow and develop while maintaining its core values: simplicity, quality and authenticity.
Our origin
Behind the minimalist jewelry brand is Georgiana Ciceo - architect and, since 2016, jewelry designer.
In the vision of master Constantin Brâncuși, "Architecture is livable sculpture". This is where the search of our founder started - her jewelry would be small "architectures" that you can wear. The creative process starts the same way as designing - a sketch, a 3D model, sometimes a paper mock-up. Only after this it becomes something else.
Monom bears the imprint of the author's personality, the objects being created in a calculated way, with a special dedication to each piece.

Values
We believe in the special power that an artisanal design element gives both to those who conceive it and to those who choose to make it a part of their lives. Monom offers individually made jewelry, limited series or customized pieces.
We believe in the need for sustainable and ethical behavior. We pride ourselves on the fact that every Monom piece is produced locally in our workshop, even though this can sometimes translate into longer waiting times for our customers. We align our values with those of the slow fashion movement. We strive to deliver timeless pieces that truly represent the style and personality of the wearer, rather than a passing trend.
We believe in the importance of community. We form meaningful connections both inside and outside the workshop. We collaborate as often as we can with designers and creatives to deliver projects that celebrate the blurring of lines between art, design and life. The biggest proof of this is MONOM - the Concept Store - the MONOM showroom in its home city - Cluj-Napoca, which houses more than 15 other Romanian brands in addition to its own.
Workshop and sustainability
What started as a One Woman Show has become a small team that dedicates itself every day to creating jewelry of the highest quality and providing the best possible service for our customers.
Our jewelry is made entirely by our team in our own workshops in Cluj-Napoca - from concept, prototyping, casting, modeling - to the last details.
To avoid the production of too large stocks and implicitly waste, we work with small stocks, which we replenish according to sales.
The materials used come from European suppliers (from France, Germany, Austria, Poland) who are part of the Responsible Jewelery Council (RJC). RJC members commit to the Code of Good Practice and are independently audited against it.The Code of Practice is an international standard for responsible diamond and precious metal business practices. It covers human rights, employee rights, environmental impact, mining practices, product information and many other important topics. We work with premium silver alloys that are hypoallergenic and resistant to oxidation.
The packaging we use comes from suppliers in Europe (Romania and Denmark) and is made of biodegradable and environmentally friendly materials. The boxes in which the jewels are packed are made from FSC certified materials - FSC® certified products / FSC Mix 70% (made from materials from well-managed forests, FSC® certified and from other controlled sources).
Because we want any purchase our customers make to truly be a long-term investment, all of our jewelry comes with an unlimited warranty and we have the Refresh service available. Any jewelry purchased from us can be brought in for refinishing and replating. The first such service is free.
