The Power of Nature
The Power of Nature collection combines four basic elements – earth, wind, water and fire – through dynamic and moving forms of jewelry that symbolize the energy of natural forces. The movement of the Earth illustrates the stability and movement of nature through round earrings with organic voids, in which gilded elements and small pearls are embedded, which constantly move and represent the vital pulse of the earth. The Wind of Life revives the energy of the wind in a shape similar to a windmill that rotates with the breath. The pearl represents calmness in the midst of movement. The Flame of the Blue combines the elements of fire and water, where the drop above the fire represents a contrast and a harmonious combination of two opposite energies. The collection highlights movement as a key element of natural forces, which are revived and depict at every moment through the design of earrings.

Žiga Kodre is a third-generation jewelry designer who began his journey in 2020 after graduating from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology in Ljubljana, majoring in Materials Science, with research into the influence of alloying elements in 14-karat gold on the colour and hardness of the material. He grew up in a family with a rich tradition of jewelry making, where his father Jure Kodre, a renowned master, taught him technical and design skills. His first exhibition at Slovenian Jewerly Week 2024 opened up new horizons for him and broadened his view of innovation and creative approaches in jewelry design. Passion, knowledge and family tradition allow him to constantly grow and create unique products.
