“True joy for me is found at the sea, where the soothing waves bring a sense of peace and energy. My travels, particularly in Italy and along the Polish coast, feel like living paintings, blending taste and beauty. Inspired by fresh seafood, my jewelry collection At the beach transforms remnants into wearable art, capturing the essence of coastal experiences. This collection serves as a reminder of the fragility of our oceans and the importance of preservation, channelling the vibrant energy of the sea into each piece.”
