The Ballet Dancer


This dancer is the most important and precious work of mine. If you place it on a chain and wear it as a pendant it will not stop dancing forever.

Smithed golden wedding rings

These two wedding rings were smithed from 800 gold with blue saphyres used as incluses.

Blowpipe




The short movie shows the usage of blowpipe for the recrystalization step in the production of smithed wedding rings (please find them in the post above)

Men's outhouse

Silver pendant made from 925 silver plate. It was inspired by outdoor lavatory house found in villages. The item may be used as a box since the door may be opened and closed repeatedly.

Ballet dancers

These ballet dancers are made by applying 800 silver on 925 silver ground. Ballet dancers are like flowers, for this reason their skirts are made from silk to imitate temporarity of flowers.

Mother's milk

This pendant box is designed as a gift for mothers after the childbirth since the shape imitates the breast of a mother feeding her newborn child. The shape was reached by using repoussé and chasing technique. Sharnier was used as a hinge.

Granulated boxes

These items were produced without using any solder by using a blowpipe. Granulation technique was applied. This technique is one of my strongest skills and i can present it in action anytime.

The massive light flower



This item was made from several massive 925 silver plates, solded using blowpipe. The shape was reached by using repoussé and chasing technique. The diameter of the item is around 2 inches. The most amazing thing about this silvergrown flower is that it jingles when is worn because of two small balls hidden inside a blosom of the flower. It makes me think that the flower would be a perfect rattle for a pregnant woman.
