The collective Etnoraj - oGRLICE gathers a group of top notch traditional artistic jewelry creators at the National University "Sesvete", where their story begins. It is the place where they all finished the course they needs and also where theyy founded the collective. The goal is to present Croatian culture through the form of traditional jewelry and to point out its value in the urban way of life as well.

Jewerly making has a rich traditiona which the collective’s mumbers nurture proundly with their work.

They create trusty replicas of traditional jewelry and interprete it creatively.

They explore wherever they are and seek advice on etno jewelry from local elders. Authentic museums are always an inspiration, so the new findings are always documented, replicated and almost always reinterpreted. Contemporary exxpression is being mixed with the tradicional, creating its new material and social surrounding.

The media used by the authors are diverse: various glass and similar pearls, ceramics, plastic, napkins and other. By adding metal and textile, their becommes even more attractive.

The characteristic of their work is the freedom of combining materials, colors, shapes, lines, as well as both the urban and traditiona elements.

Their work is an example of technically perfect traditional jewelry creation, a unity of creativity and art, fulfillment of all the artistic postulaters, the same way if goes for any other art form.
