Designing has been my passion ever since I was a child and, though I'm from a young generation of artists, I love to create something based on traditional styles and combine it with a modern look. That's how I came to decide on designing sterling silver jewelry for men, as well as for women.
There are many people in my neighborhood who were unable to finish their studies due to financial difficulties. Some of them have had to resort to begging on the streets. I've come to realize the importance of having a skill so that you may have more opportunities in life, so I've made a point of offering free training in silversmith techniques. My hope is that by doing so, people in need will eventually be able to earn a living and support their families.
By purchasing my collections, you're not just helping me but, at the same time, you will be helping other families get the opportunity to learn and work with me in order to reach a better quality of life.

NOVICA was started with a dream to create a better world for artisans, because a better world for artisans is a better world for all.
Along the way, the founders of NOVICA discovered something very important - as artisans around the world succeeded, there was also a visible and profound impact on the communities around them.
Your purchases are that powerful. They directly and indirectly provide for education, help with health care, fund basic needs, support children, preserve disappearing arts, and of course, spread happiness around the world.
The founders of NOVICA had a vision of the future that is not one of mega factories producing cookie cutter products for all to cheaply consume. Instead, a bright future that celebrates artisans who take the time to create an item by hand. A future where time is protected, where stories are told, where unique details are honored. Love, respect, inclusiveness become driving force.
