Dimitar Deltchev is one of the most famous and inspiring Bulgarian jewellery makers with an impressive oeuvre of works. His interest in jewellery started during his metal classes in high school. Later, he continued his education in the Budapest Art Academy focusing on glass. Nowadays, it seems that he is able to create beautiful jewellery from almost anything. From rubber, washing machine hoses, plastic, gold, silver and steel, he creates his unusual pieces.
