This necklace is made of olive wood and coated brass. Its design is extremely simple and characterised by asymmetry. Metal is inserted into wood, creating a contrast between the cold surface of the one and the intriguing, natural texture of the other.

A reverence for geometry and colour
- • Andrea learned woodwork from her grandfather, a carpenter
- • She creates jewels with wood from her family’s forest in Croatia
- • She likes asymmetry because it gives movement to her works
With an MA degree in painting, Andrea Covic set out to be a professional artist. She does actively paint and exhibit in Berlin, where she moved from Croatia in 2014. However, in parallel to this, for more than a decade her core business has shifted to handmade wooden jewellery making. Her grandfather used to be a carpenter, and Andrea spent so much time in his workshop as a child that she absorbed his craft. One day after he passed away, she entered his workshop and started using his tools. Woodworking came to her spontaneously and very simply, as though it were part of her genetics. At the beginning, she created small scale sculptures, but then she drilled a hole through one piece and her first ring was born. Today, Andrea's works have metal and hand-painted details, too.
