Designer biography:
After finishing the Secondary School of Goldsmithing in Celje, I chose the goldsmith workshop of the renowned master in the craft, Tomislav Loboda in Ljubljana, to improve my profession. After more than ten years, I decided to introduce myself to the market with my own name and that it was time to go my own way. After a few years, I gained the title of Master Goldsmith through additional studies, and this motivated me to go abroad. During a few years of working in a prestigious jewellery workshop, I gained additional knowledge and training in gemstone cutting, which is closely linked to the knowledge of gemstones. After almost five years it was time to return to the jewellery studio Juvelirij in Centrum Rog in Ljubljana, where I share the workshop with two other designers.
Collection concept:
The Best Is Yet to Come
Rose bud pendant and earrings, handcrafted in platinum, capture that quiet moment just before a bloom opens. At their heart sit intense red rubies—tiny, secret flames. Tucked at the base, a single Tasmanian light green sapphire glows softly, like nature stirring from winter sleep.
This rosebud leans into the future. It honours the past without ever needing to return there. Just a gentle reminder that you're far from done. You're still buzzing with energy, still ready. The bud hasn't opened yet because the very best is still to come. There's a quiet fierceness here. A touch of mystery, yes, but also a promise. To wear this piece is to walk into what's next with eyes wide open and your spark fully alive. Not a glance backward. Just forward—full of life, and more than ready for the ride.
