Our Story

Handcrafted Designer Jewelry

I grew up in Upper Silesia, the largest industrial area in Poland. Being raised in a landscape of steelworks and coal mines, naturally directed my interests towards industry and its influence on the life surrounding me. Wrought iron gates or floral cast iron elements of architecture – I was fascinated by the blend of the artistry and the weight they carried. I fell in love with the fire and forge; two great forces of change and creation. This love led me to discover the phenomenon of jewellery; a perfect symbiosis of art, metalsmithing and engineering knowledge. After graduating in mechanical engineering, I moved to Sweden. Living close to nature and slowing down the pace of life gave a new perspective on my interests. I merged my love for jewellery, and passion for metalwork and engineering, and established my own company. My world has changed and creating objects of beauty has become my life´s passion. My first pieces were strongly influenced by decorative and monumental ironwork – the artistic splendour of fine scrolls and lines, with the passing of time the world around me, the beauty of Nature, became involved in my designs. Today my pieces of jewellery are inspired by moments I have spent in the gardens and nature. They comprise reminiscent of the alluring beauty, symbolic language and secrets hidden behind the delicacy of flowers. Each piece of my jewellery is entirely hand- crafted, -carved in precious metals and gemstones. I find that combining traditional old jewellery techniques perfectly underlines the distinctive quality in my pieces. I love the slow and time consuming process in the making of my jewellery, resulting in intricate floral patterns and unusual surface textures. It is the precise balance of colour and techniques that ensures the uniqueness of my jewellery, which is why personally cutting, carving and selecting the gemstones for their - shape, size, fineness, colour and cut, lends significance and meaning to each piece. My collection includes one-of-a-kind collectable pieces that reflect my appreciation of individuality and uniqueness. Each piece has its own personality and story to tell.
