I grew up in Slovakia, where I fell in love with jewellery and mushroom foraging, and later began my jewellery practice in London, where I studied and built my first collections. Today I work between Slovakia, London and Dublin, travelling with a portable studio, while my stones are hand-carved and pieces assembled in my larger Slovak workshop.

My creative process often begins with mushroom-foraging walks, capturing shapes and textures in photos and sketches, then transforming them into detailed drawings and renders. Once a design is complete, I travel to handpick gemstones in India and select components in Italy from my network of trusted gemstone dealers and gold makers. Back in the studio, I wax carve, set stones, hand engrave and carve stones myself, collaborating with skilled casters in Slovakia and Ireland.

I believe that spending time with yourself and in nature is the ultimate luxury in our fast-paced world. My work is a way to nurture that relationship with nature while creating pieces that connect deeply with people. I see mushrooms as powerful symbols of luck, magic and spirituality, and I love sharing my passion for mycology with clients who bring their own memories and emotions to these symbols.
