TRADITIONAL CROATIAN JEWELLERY – DUBROVNIK TREASURES

Traditional Croatian Jewellery – Dubrovnik Treasures

by Saron Lease, Croatia Gems Company Founder & Director, 28th July 2018,

What once began as a hobby, led to a brother and sister duo establishing ‘Dubrovnik Treasures’ in 2009 -A small boutique where jewellery is designed, handmade, and treasured by many customers all over the world.

From the beginning in their makeshift studio with a minimum of tools they worked hard to follow their dream of making beautiful Croatian jewellery, Today with a very well equipped workshop, they are producing amazing individual pieces. Using traditional techniques but also newer technologies, the finished product is a testament to their true craftsmanship and attention to detail.

They melt down some precious metal, turning it into fine intricate filigree, or manipulating and shaping the precious metal into a new shape, polishing it to a mirror like finish, then finally combining it with a handful of coral or other colourful stones, producing something quite unique so that no two pieces are ever the same

The environment that Simona and Marko live and work in, the culture that they are submerged in, and the history that surrounds the old city, provides the vision for most of their designs. Dubrovnik is not only a mesmerising city, but a never ending source of inspiration.
