These pieces are your perfect companions for new adventures, moments and memories. Due to their highly unique and diverse character, there is a perfect piece for every taste in this collection. Inspirations from the Mediterranean culture clearly shine through: its outgoing people, fascinating beliefs, ethnic patterns and its glamourous lifestyle mixed with hippie chic style played a central role in the creation of these stunning trinkets. When wearing these ornaments, you can sparkle brighter than the Mediterrean sun. Sophisticated, sensual, summery.
