Linden Earrings - Gilded Silver (version 2)
You smell the linden tree in the lane and listen to the buzzing of the bees...
The linden as a symbol of aid, protection and love. An age old witness to history, and a majestic ornament in the Czech countryside and historic locales.
Now it can be your ornamentation as well, in the form of silver linden akenes.

Tilia Collection
The Tilia (linden) Collection is inspired by the shape of the akenes of the little-leaf linden tree with their spherical seeds. In this instance, nature is geometricized, with the akenes stylized in the clean minimalist shape of an ellipse, while the small spheres are made of gold, silver or pearls. This collection was created at the behest of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, for whom I designed representational gift items in the form of necklaces with linden motifs. The spheres in this case were in the tricolor of the Czech flag. I continued to work with this shape, and Tilia was born. In 2013, I was nominated for the prestigious Czech Grand Design award in the Jewelry of the Year category for this collection.
