"The Shape of Encounter"
Inspired by the idea of encounters, traces of connection, and moments that leave a shape within us.
The swallow always returns to the same nest, faithful to the place and the people it once chose. The puzzle piece seeks its counterpart, because wholeness only appears when two different shapes recognize each other. Together, these two motifs speak of encounter as something that is both awaited and built: a return that brings warmth, and a joining that brings meaning.
The Shape of Encounter collection is a reminder that no piece is complete on its own, and that true connection is not forced, but fitted together.
"Adriatic Symbols"
Inspired by the sea and the symbols of the Adriatic.
The seagull is as free as the horizon, a messenger of the wind and of those who long for the open sea. The dolphin is the joy of the sea and the age-old companion of sailors, a sign of a good voyage and of friendship. The shell keeps the murmur of the sea and quietly remembers everything the waves have carried in, its beauty born of protection and patience.
The Adriatic Symbols collection carries the scent of salt, the light of noon, and the calm of a hidden cove, reminding you at every step of the sea you carry within.
"Zmijanje"
Inspired by the unique language of Zmijanje embroidery, this jewellery collection brings tradition into a new form.
Zmijanje does not treat traditional embroidery as an ornament, but as a code. The motif is broken down into mosaic fragments – parts of a sign that function as individual pieces of jewelry. Only through their mutual relationship does a whole emerge. Identity is not built all at once; it arises through the relationship between the parts and the whole they create together.
Instead of literally transferring the ornament, a contemporary system of signs has been developed – one in which the motif is not reproduced but deconstructed, questioned, and rebuilt.
Every piece begins with a symbol. Its story continues with yours.
