ABOUT THE AUTHOR'S LIFE

In her work, which draws on the family tradition of the Belda company, she works with precious and noble metals, gemstones, and unconventional materials. She combines contemporary design with an awareness of the symbolic value of jewelry as a symbol of identity, memory, and special occasions.

He helped create replicas of the Czech crown jewels and worked on major public and private commissions. The family workshop has long been synonymous with first-class Czech jewelry craftsmanship and masterful restoration.

In collaboration with the Glass Soul project, his signature jewelry-making details are scaled up to a sculptural level. The metal elements from his studio do not serve as mere decoration here, but as precisely composed parts of the whole.
