Hello lovelies! I hope you all had a great weekend and that you managed to relax and have fun! Mine was quite busy at work, but today I slept long and got plenty of rest :-) I love Mondays! In today's post, I'd like to present you the whole "behind the scenes" of my jewellery line! As I promised back in December, when I was launching my jewellery line, I wanted to introduce you to the person who is behind the whole process of making Pika jewellery! So today you get to meet Mr. Mario Scaglione, an italian craftsman with a long tradition in making jewellery. I visited him in his workshop/ studio, and interviewed him, and we also showed you how he handmakes my jewellery line!
You can also subscribe to my youtube channel, if you haven't yet, here! It means a lot! :-) In this video, the whole accent is on quality and unique designs. I teamed with Mr. Scaglione because I wanted to promote the "Made in Italy" and the local production!
"Greek Goddess" set (pieces also available separately)
Lijep pozdrav svima! Nadam se da ste mi dobro i da ste ugodno proveli vikend! Moj je, kao i obicno bio radni, ali zato sam danas nadoknadila san i odmor! Ja sam vjerojatno jedna od nekolicine, koji vole ponedjeljak! :-) U danasnjem postu predstavljam vam cijeli proces proizvodnje moje linije nakita! Kao sto sam vam i obecala prije mjesec dana, kada je moja linija nakita i sluzbeno bila objavljena i pustena u prodaju, predstaviti cu vam osobu koja stoji iza Pika nakita! Vodim vas u radionicu gdina. Maria Scaglionea, zlatara/ obrtnika iz okolice Padove, sa dugogodisnjom tradicijom izrade nakita. Sa njim sam obavila mali intervju, a pokazali smo vam i na koji nacin on rucno izraduje Pika nakit! U ovom projektu naglasak je na kvaliteti i jedinstvenom dizajnu. Promoviram "Made in Italy", lokalnu proizvodnju prepoznatljivu po stilu i kvaliteti, a koja je danas sve vise zasjenjena masovnom proizvodnjom i potrosnosti robe iz Kine. Video pogledajte klikom ovdje, a pretplatiti se na moj hrvatski youtube kanal mozete ovdje!
Hvala vam na vasoj podrsci! Pika nakit dostupan je po narudzbi, za vise informacija obratite se na: trenchcollection@libero.it Cijelu liniju nakita pogledajte ovdje!
Saljem vam pusu iz Italije i zelim ugodan pocetak radnog tjedna!
In this blog post, finally, I present you my jewellery line!
I already announced it on my youtubechannels, and now it's time to officially kick start the campaign by writing about it on my blog too!
As I've mentioned before, it took us almost one year to put this project together!
It was a lot of work and dedication, a lot of passion that we put into it, but it was all worth it, because my dream has come true and today I get to share it with you guys! ♥♥
I hope that you'll like the pieces that I've selected for my jewellery line, and that maybe you'll want to own a thing or two! ;)
I teamed up with Mr. Mario Scaglione, an italian craftsman with a long tradition of jewellery making.
He handmade all of these pieces, and in one of my upcoming videos, you'll get to see exactly how he made this jewellery, as I visited him in his studio and recorded a little interview with him!
Here are all the pieces that I currently have in my collection:
(If we come to a good response from you guys, I'll be adding new pieces to my collection, and preparing a spring/summer line too!
Remember that you can also send us your design, and Mr. Mario Scaglione will handcraft it for you!)
"GREEK GODDESS" set
(pieces also available separately)
PIKA jewellery necklaces (from left to right): "SIMPLICITY", "SIMPLICITY 2", "RING" (medium), "RING" (long)
Earrings:
"PRETTY" earrings
"FOREVER" earrings (different sizes available)
earrings "STELLA" mini
earrings "STELLA"
You can order these pieces in gold, silver or bronze material (depending on your budget, mind that the bronze will be the less expensive option).
Regardless of the material, you can order these pieces in 3 following colours:
- gold
- silver
- rose gold
Here are some of my favourite picks from the collection:

Lijep pozdrav dragi ljudi!
Danasnji blog post i sluzbena je najava pocetka kampanje linije mog nakita, PIKA jewellery!
Suradnju sa iskusnim talijanskim zlatarom (obrtnikom) gdinom. Mariom Scaglioneom, vec sam vam najavila prosli tjedan na youtube kanalu, a sada vam cijelu liniju predstavljam i na blogu!
Kao sto sam vec napomenula, jako sam sretna sto je moj san konacno zazivio i postao stvarnost!
Na projektu PIKA jewellery radili smo skoro godinu dana, u taj projekt ulozeno je puno rada, truda, strasti i zelje da se kreira nesto kvalitetno i lijepo!
Nadam se da cete i vi to znati prepoznati i da ce vam se linija svidjeti ♥♥
Ukoliko odaziv bude dobar, u liniju cemo s vremenom ubacivati nove stvarcice, a zaziviti ce i linija nakita za iduce proljece/ljeto!
Sve ovisi o vama i vasoj podrsci :)
Zeljela bih napomenuti kako gdin. Mario radi i nakit po narudzbi!
Ukoliko imate neki dizajn koji biste zeljeli naruciti, posaljite mi slicicu i velike su sanse da vam gdin.Mario to moze rucno izraditi!
Kako bismo izasli u susret svakom budzetu, odlucili smo se ponuditi 3 opcije, pa tako ove komade iz moje linije nakita mozete naruciti u materijalu: Zlato, srebro, ili bakar.
Naravno, bakar ce biti najjeftinija opcija, a kvalitetom su komadi od bakra zaista odlicni (narucila sam puno nakita iz moje kolekcije bas od bakra, kako bih ga mogla nositi u proteklih par mjeseci i dobro istestirati: Odlican je, ne gubi boju i prekrasnog je sjaja!).
Bez obzira na koji se materijal odlucili, nakit mozete naruciti u jednoj od slijedecih boja:
- zlato
-srebro
-"rose gold" (ne znam kako se prevodi na hrvatski, ali za primjer, u "rose gold" boji nosim set "Greek Goddess" na slicicama gore).
Buduci da je svaki od ovih komada rucno radjen, svaki je na svoj nacin jedinstven, unikatan!
Kako bih vam bolje priblizila PIKA nakit, u jednom od iducih videa, vodim vas u radionicu gdina. Maria, gdje ce vam se on predstaviti i pokazati kako rucno izradjuje nakit, mislim da ce to za vas biti nesto zanimljivo! :)
Sto je sve trenutno u kolekciji pogledajte na slicicama gore (u engleskom tekstu), a ukoliko ste zainteresirani, mozete mi poslati e-mail na: trenchcollection@libero.it u kojem vas molim da mi navedete model koji vas zanima te materijal i boju u kojoj biste zeljeli da vam se isti izradi!
To je za sada to!
Video objavu ove suradnje mozete pogledati i na hrvatskom jeziku:
...a tu cete otkriti i koji su moji omiljeni komadi nakita iz linije! ;)
I'm very happy, excited and proud to announce that my jewellery line, Pika jewellery, will be launching soon!
It's a project I've been working on for almost one year, and finally it's ready to launch!
I've teamed up with italian craftsman, Mr. Mario Scaglione, who has a long tradition in hand crafting the finest jewellery, which makes the quality of every single jewellery piece unquestionable!
And this is exactly what I wanted: To give an accent to the quality and unique pieces, every single one of them being hand made!
I also wanted to make my line accessible for every budget, which nowdays is a hard task, but I think we managed to achieve that goal too!
I'll talk to you more about everything when I officially launch the project, now I just wanted to give you a sneak peak, a little preview of what's coming up! ;)
PIKA jewellery, coming soon! Are you ready?
A couple of pieces from my collection:
Uzbudjena sam, sretna i ponosna sto vam mogu reci da se rad na mojem velikom projektu, vlastitoj liniji nakita, konacno privodi kraju i ulazi u zavrsnu fazu, znaci uskoro ce biti spreman za objavu!
Na ovom projektu radim vec skoro godinu dana i naravno da mi je do njega puno stalo i da je ostvarenje jednog sna!
Udruzila sam snage sa talijanskim zlatarom- obrtnikom sa dugom tradicijom izrade prestiznog nakita, gdinom. Mariom Scaglioneom i zajedno smo radili na ovom projektu i dali sve od sebe kako bi on zazivio :)
Sav nakit izradjen je rucno i samim time, svaki komad je jedinstven i neupitne kvalitete.
Ja sam zeljela dati naglasak na kvaliteti, ali i cijenom pristupacnim proizvodima, sto u danasnje vrijeme nije lako postici. Zadovoljna sam jer smo, smatram, uspjeli postici tu ravnotezu!
Vise o svemu reci cu vam kada projekt bude i sluzbeno lansiran, ali u ovom postu htjela sam vam ponuditi mali "preview", buduci da je sve uslo u zavrsnu fazu i da mogu i sluzbeno govoriti o tome :)
Hvala vam puno na vasoj velikoj podrsci, bez vas zasigurno ne bih uspjela ostvariti ovaj san!
Gore vam ostavljam par slicica sa nakitom koji ce uskoro biti dostupan!
With the month of December approaching really fast, and the holiday season being just around the corner, I thought I'd do a "Holiday Gift Guide" series for you, starting with www.orafinrete.com, the largest on-line jewellery store in Europe!
Orafinrete is a unique place to shop for your presents, as they're rich in tradition and very professional.
They are a network of jewellers, carefully selected, among the most prestigious ones in Italy, that offer more than 200 brands and thousands of exclusive handmade products!
Their team provides excellent service and you can choose to have a tailored item (custom made for you!), engraving, or personalized gift boxes!
Their selection includes from the most prestigious brands and fine jewellery, to more affordable brands, so basically it's well adjusted to any budget and it can meet any taste (if you don't see an item, or a specific brand you're looking for, you can drop them an e-mail/skype/phone them, and their team will make every possible effort to satisfy your need!)
On their website (they have recently launched an english version), you can find valuable advices and instructional videos, on how to properly take care of your jewellery.
You'll also learn the difference between diamond and brilliant, the difference between sea and river pearls, why is gold yellow, why diamond shines, and all these little tips & curiosities you were maybe wondering, but never had a chance to ask!
Their on-line store is constantly growing, it now has 3716 items under "Jewels" section, 230 items under "Objects", 2787 items under "Watches", and last but not least, is their "Outlet" section that's always very appealing as you can find prestigious brands at discounted prices, and it currently holds 775 items!
The payment through their website is secure and they accept Pay Pal and all major credit cards.
They ship internationally.
The shipping is fast and you can always rely on their customer's service to be at your disposal.
Overall, I was very pleased with their service!
Here is the necklace I got:
Ogrlica koja mi je stigla na kucnu adresu u roku 1 dana!
I ♥ this necklace because you actually get 3 in 1!
You can change the pendants (in fact, you'll get 3 different pendants in 3 different colours), based on your mood of that day, based on your outfit, or just based on your colour preference!
Volim ovu ogrlicu jer je u biti 3 u 1! Kao sto vidite, u kompletu cete dobiti 3 privjeska razlicitih boja i mozete ih mijenjati ovisno o vasem raspolozenju toga dana, ovisno o vasem "outfitu", ili ovisno o vasem ukusu pri izboru boja!
I'm currently wearing my blue pendant! Moj trenutni izbor je plavi privjesak!
