The jewels are inspired not only by art nouveau, natural motives, but also by the material itself. Most often the semi-precious stone is combined with metal (white metal, mainly nickel white brass – “pakfong”): It is based on the contrast of surfaces, where flesh and differently dull surfaces alternate. Technology of production comes from old ways of goldsmith, metal-chasing and engraver profession (hand curving, filing, metal-chasing of the shape, soldering, polishing, stone arranging, engraving). Offer of jewels contains both small individual pieces (rings, earrings, pendants, brooch, tie-clips, pins, etc.) and whole collections (necklace, brooch, bracelet, ring, etc.), decorative belts and small fashion accessories.

One part of work includes demanding jewels made according to original design. These are usually ordered by individual customers or it is a reconstruction of historical jewels or accessories from metal. Everything is made only from the metal or in combination with natural stones or ground stones. The jewels are intended not only for daily wearing but also for special social occasions. Everything is made only in one copy.

The used metal is health friendly – with the testimonial. Co-operation with: fashion designer Dana Maskova pottery maker Marketa Pribylova caser J.F. Matousek with galleries: Kis Obecni dum G7 Decastello Alfa- Stocek
