Jewelry collection inspired by crystal glass from the Huta Julia

Anna Orska visited Piechowice, where under the watchful eye of glassworkers and decorators she learned the secrets of making crystal glass. Sparkling and perfectly clear crystal glass reflects light like diamonds and is most often decorated with the so-called brilliant cut. The latest Julia jewelry collection is the result of a journey in which ORSKA returns to the roots of glassmaking traditions and combines them with jewelry craftsmanship. The geometric forms, hand-cut in Anna Orska's workshop, were set in brass - and for the first time - gold-plated settings.

Gold-plated brooch from the Julia collection

The brooch was handmade from brass in the ORSKA workshop, then gold-plated and decorated with faceted crystal. Half of the brooch is additionally decorated with tiny facets arranged in rows, which are a reinterpretation of traditional patterns for decorating crystalware, based on a large number of fine cuts. The cuts gave the brooch an original character, reminiscent of cut glass, while the faceted crystal added a touch of glamor.

How to wear brooches?

You can combine the brooch with other jewelry or replace the necklace with it. Such an ornament will add a unique style to any outfit. Although it usually decorates the lapels of coats and jackets, it looks equally elegant pinned to a shirt. With a brooch you can also decorate your favorite sweater, turtleneck or neckline of a dress.
The brooch goes well with handbags and scarves. You can pin it on the end of a scarf or close to the neck, creating an original necklace. Are you bored with your handbag? A brooch is the perfect way to add a fresh touch to it. Pin it to the strap of your handbag or directly on its front. Brooches are perfect as a gift for people who do not wear jewelry on a daily basis.
