From the time I can remember, I have always liked creating things which were beautiful as well as practical. From the very first ring I have made for my mother in the kindergarten to more intricate designs later on, I have always been fascinated by the world of jewellery making and “secrets “ it took for those tiny little stones to hold together. From very early on I have been hooked.I have got the chance to develop more when at the age of 15 I have become an apprentice at the local jewellery shop. Gaining both practical and theoretical knowledge of Goldsmithing skills and Gemmology. I have ended my studies by gaining Diploma in Fine art of Goldsmithing and Jewellery making. Because of my good relationship with the jewellery establishment I have continue to work with them after my studies and to enhance my knowledge by enrolling in further education, this time completing the course and gaining Diploma in Engraving. I have spent several years working with the local jewellery shop doing things from designing simple jewellery to more complicated tasks of custom engraving for various clients. After that time I have moved to Prague where I have spent next 8 years working in jewellery industry. During that time I have mastered my goldsmithing skills and it was also the time I have had my first contact with microscope. From that moment on I knew this is the way I want to move forward. I have learned and perfected my skills of High precision optic stone setting by working with Master Alexander Sidorov in Antwerp. Under his tutelage I have learned and perfected techniques especially invented by him, allowing me gain new skills and enhance my craftsmanship.
