Today i have the pleasure to host an incredible jewelry artist! When i first met her little wonders online the only thing i could say was "WOW!!!".
She has a great sense of balance and contrast and you will fall in love with her regularly irregular forms! A graphic designer who also creates very original pieces of contemporary jewelry and from the little i know her, i would dare to say a person with a great sense of humor!
Everyone, meet Petra from Croatia. The wizard of "notAjewelry".

I would say the m
Most of the pieces, especially unique ones, are named after unforgettable
moments, stories and thoughts. Sometimes inspiration comes from the book, social

An air - hostess :D
5. What was the first
thing you ever made?
It
all began when I started playing with metal, creating sculptures and ornaments - not particularly
intending to produce a piece of jewelry, rather just trying to "pin down" something that
inspired me and leave a sign.
