LAZER ROK LUMEZI, Croatia
Jasna Gora
The doyen of Croatian art jewelry Lazer Rok Lumezi rarely creates religious jewelry, so the Jasna Gora pendant, inspired by the architecture of a great Marian shrine, is a significant departure and at the same time a unique deconstruction of his own style.
Material: silver, rock crystal
Technique: combined technique
