Kristina Drnovšek - Slovenian Jewelry Week
Kristina Drnovšek
Designer biography:
Kristina Drnovšek entered the world of jewellery after graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana, when she was first introduced to goldsmithing skills in Martina Obid Mlakar's workshop. She later honed her goldsmith skills at the Metallo Nobile School in Florence, and her love of jewellery design and craft led her to pursue her own creative path. Since 2020, she has been self-employed in culture as a designer. She has participated in group exhibitions in Slovenia and abroad, and at the first Slovenian Jewellery Week she presented her first solo exhibition with her collection From the World of Insects, for which she received an award for young designers from the Slovenian Association of Designers. Together with her colleagues Sanda Vidmar and Peter Dragolič, she opened the Jewellery Design Studio – Juvelirij – in November 2023 at the Rog Centre.
Collection concept:
Dreamers is a collection of brooches that invites us into a world of endless dreams. Fluffy clouds become a vessel for dreamers who drift away with their thoughts to unknown places where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. The gentle touch of soft clouds evokes a sense of calm and reminds us of the importance of preserving the magic of dreams in our fast-paced lives and the importance of persevering and believing in our dreams.
