Front

Front is a bracelet collection designed to be understood when viewed from the front. Each bracelet forms a complete circle, and the lines that create the decoration intersect with the outer circle. The decoration is placed inside the band rather than on the outer surface, so the sizing differs from usual standards. Each piece is symmetrical on the vertical axis and asymmetrical on the horizontal axis. The bracelets are produced by three-dimensional design and printing of a wax mold, followed by casting in silver. The result is light and durable for daily use.

Svper 11

Svper 11 is a wristwatch inspired by the NASA Apollo 11 mission. The dial is a three-dimensional topographic representation of Mare Tranquillitatis, the landing site area, with steps of 0.1 mm shaped to reproduce the terrain of the Moon. A four-arm seconds hand with a sweeping motion marks the landing location. The crown takes the shape of the oxygen valves of the NASA spacesuit. The case back is made of technical ceramic, a reference to the ceramic shield of the Space Shuttle. The case measures 42 by 42 by 12 mm and is water resistant to 10 ATM.

Eastern Blocks

Eastern Blocks is a concrete jewelry collection inspired by Eastern European panel blockhouses. The collection includes necklaces and earrings that follow the shapes of prefabricated apartment buildings. Concrete is used because the material is light, non-allergenic and not easily broken. Each piece starts as a three-dimensional drawing, followed by prototypes and silicone molds for casting. The finished concrete parts are then joined with silver and leather. The collection invites a fresh look at Eastern European architectural heritage.

Dancing Ballerina

Dancing Ballerina is a kinetic cocktail ring inspired by the Hans Christian Andersen tale of the tin soldier and the paper ballerina. A rotary mechanism inside the ring allows the ballerina figure to turn with the slightest movement of the hand. The figure is made of 18k white and yellow gold and set with 223 white diamonds of 4.03 carats in round and pear cuts. The ring measures 5 cm in diameter and 5 cm in height and weighs 37.20 grams. A double-flip coin base allows the ring to stand as a small sculpture when it is not worn.

Line Rings

Line Rings is a collection of nine rings designed to highlight the interaction between the wearer and the jewelry. A moveable sphere inside each ring slides along a track and gives feedback through sound, vibration and rotation. The collection was inspired by the labyrinth and by geometric architecture. Multi-segment structures create varied paths for the sphere. The rings are produced by three-dimensional printing and lost wax casting in brass with silver plating. Each ring measures approximately 4 by 4 by 4 centimeters.

The Rose Fountain

The Rose Fountain is a diamond ring inspired by the form of a revolving rose fountain. The design uses a rotary setting technique that places the stones along a curved line that rises like a water column, so the ring can be viewed from all angles. The curved arrangement increases the light return of the stones and makes the central diamond look larger than in a conventional setting. The ring is made of 18-karat white gold and set with diamonds, and a ruby is placed on one side of the ring arm. The ring measures 30 by 15 by 35 millimeters.
