I AM

I am the one-woman show that makes up my eponymous label. I am creating in my studio at Križevniška Street in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

I adore Ljubljana, but a piece of my heart is on the other side of Slovenia, in a small village called Medana, that lays amongst the vineyards and wild nature.

FINDING BALANCE IN DUALITY

Living between the two, I explore my hedonistic, creative, and artistic side in Medana, where I grew up amongst the poets, sculptors, painters, and other artists. There I am in touch with my wild side, feel connected to nature, and find my inspiration. In Ljubljana, I live my entrepreneurial life and satisfy all my social cravings to keep my balance.

ART IS THE ANSWER

My love for art started at a young age and followed me throughout my whole life. Even though I took a different road professionally, when I started exploring my inner world, my whole self, that's when I came to a hard stop. To a point where I felt the need to truly start living authentically, unapologetically, deeply.

After finishing my master's degree in microbiology, leaving a prosperous career behind,  a whole lot of soul-searching around the world and one period of profound inner turmoil, I started anew.

And silver was my answer.

THIS IS MY STORY

First self-thought, later on schooled at Metallo Nobile jewellery school in Florence (Italy), I lovingly forged my brand in 2022. This is my story - one where I wholeheartedly hope to evoke inside all of us what is needed to become our truest authentic selves.

I am on a mission to change the way people shop for jewellery and switch from fast to slow fashion and sustainability. By creating timeless designs, great quality pieces that last and using only recycled materials I design shiny silver symbols of conscious consumption.
