Marjeta Hribar - KUOLMi

This collection tells the history of coal like a fairy tale. Once upon a time, Slovenia was a wild, wet forest. It was a magical world filled with wildlife. No man ever stepped inside. New trees grew and old ones lay to rest. In this magical world, trees didn’t die - they transformed into a stone named coal. Nowadays, the artist digs it out and lets these 20-million-year-old trees see the sunlight again. The brand name KUOLMi is taken from KUOLM a local name for coal. The natural coal of Slovenia will share a memory of Slovenia no matter where you go. KUOLMi jewelry is handmade by an internationally known local artist Marjeta Hribar. She picks, cuts, and designs every single piece by hand. Coal jewelry KUOLMi is made from stainless steel, copper, silver, and hard coal. Each item is unique. Wearing KUOLMi, you wear a piece of rock that already existed 20 million years ago! Her slogan is: "wear it, don't burn it" which promotes ecological note with every piece of jewelry.
