Career

Dubini’s influences are multicultural. Before starting her own brand, she worked in Jaipur, learning the traditional Indian crafts from the iconic jewellery house - Gem Palace. She also spent time imbibing the Italian artistry of jewel making whilst working with Villa, Carolina Bucci[3] and Pomellato.[4]

In 2013, Dubini returned to London and began traveling between her design studio and Rome where she started working alongside local goldsmiths in order to combine their traditional craftsmanship with her modern aesthetic.[5]

Dubini’s debut collection 'Empires'[6][7] was launched in 2014 and is a tribute to her Roman heritage and represents the brands signature aesthetic which marries coins from ancient civilizations with a contemporary frame.[8][9]

After the success of the Empires collection, Dubini introduced ‘Theodora’ in 2016, a collection inspired by the Byzantine Empress Theodora which saw her reinterpret the mosaics from the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul commissioned during her rule next to Emperor Justinian I.[10]

She designs from her studio in London and her collections are made in Italy. Her work has been worn by Eva HerzigováLiya Kebede, Bella Hadid[11] and Malgosia Bela.
