Brooch Section
The expression of the Section brooch series is the cutting of straight surfaces -sections- into organically vibrating shapes. Cutting through the shape reveals an inner calmness expressed by the flat, smooth and matt surface in contrast to the shiny, shimmering surface.
Neckles Cubum
Tvar (shape) collection is a collection of jewellery made of silver, inspired by the geometric definition of spatial shape in the surface. This planar projection is later again translated into space. This creates jewellery-objects whose shape is seemingly located between two-dimensional and three-dimensional dimensions.
Brooch Czechia
The shape of the Czechia brooch is a simple rounded, oval shape with a straight geometric notch. By cutting the notch into a rounded shape, a wedge is created, which forms a heart shape from a certain angle. At the same time, a typical composition for our national flag is created, which is supported by the use of surface treatments. The red colour is represented by the pure gold gilding, the blue colour is symbolized by the natural dark grey oxidation and the white colour is expressed by the typical whiteness of silver. The simple incision creates two powerful symbols.
The Box
This mysterious object, born with molten metal, creates a space for keeping secrets. The shape of the jar is formed by seven cubes built on top edge, evoking a crystalline structure of the stone. These cubes are the lid of the box. The body of the box is formed by stretching the edges of the lid, evoking the stone organ of basalt rocks.
