Even though architectural monuments of medieval Serbian culture and religion were created within the framework of Byzantine art, they are considered unique, mostly due to the independent historical growth of the Serbian Orthodox Church and state. This jewelry is an artistic interpretation of decorative elements which could be found on the walls of the monasteries or inside them.

The idea for the collection Medieval Serbia Ornaments came from the illustrations and drawings of decorative architectural elements from Serbian monasteries. The ornaments chosen for this jewelry belong to the several monasteries and they were originally made of stone, copper or simply painted on the walls.

Each piece of jewelry is packed in an original box and has a bilingual explanation.

Pendant on leather, an ornament from The Partriachate of Pec (Kosovo and Metohija, 13th century).

Material: zinc, silver plated and patinated
Dimensions: 5.5 x 5.2 cm

The Patriarchate of Peć, XIII century, a monastery in Kosovo and Metohija, is the old center of the Serbian Church. This group of churches is protected by UNESCO as part of the world cultural heritage. The jewelry is inspired by a motif carved in stone from the iconostasis of the church of St. Demetrius (around 1320).
