Collection concept:

The concept illustrates the idea that jewelry should incorporate attitude, volume and light. The metal obeys the fire with dignity, all the while capturing its light and the spark of the creator's idea. In the beginning, there was matter, fire and the creator, after which remained only a shape as a reminiscence.
