The ring was forged from pure gold and set with a precious black diamond. Rows of white diamonds run around the middle of the ring to embellish beautifully the main stone. Black stands for perfection, purity, maturity and wisdom. Yet there is a Japanese concept of wabi–sabi, meaning beauty of imperfection as such. This ring represents both concepts.

A new adventure in jewellery making
- • Nauris embarked on the path of craftsmanship at the age of 40
- • He is self-taught in jewellery making
- • The financial crisis of 2008 encouraged him to change career
Nauris Našlėnas was always drawn to subtle, detail-oriented work. He had always wanted to make jewellery but the true opportunity arose for him at the time of the financial crisis of 2008. Before this, he worked as a graphic designer for a magazine. In 2008 he thought to himself, "If not now, then when?" and that is how what had been a dream became his way of life. Having learned the craft on his own, he is still learning, gaining experience and consulting with other jewellers. Nauris is currently creating jewellery that combines simplicity, practicality, and elegance. He enjoys working the most with silver and gold, as well as colourful gemstones. Smooth metal surfaces are brought to life by glittering stones and subtle decorative accents in his creations.

Earrings Golden Splash
The earrings were forged in gold and adorned with small diamonds in a rectangular setting at the top. They represent the moment when waves hit the rock and myriad of sparkles appear. Collision of soft and solid has been known since the beginning of time. No matter Cairos or Chronos, it indicates a still moment of material expression where the eternal beauty emits energy.

Ring Fern Flower
This gold ring features an irregular edge at the top and a floral pattern that encircle the entire finger. Fern flower is a mystery of nature. In Lithuanian language, the same word indicates "ring" and "blossom". If you hold it in your hand, it feels like a small but significant miracle. Prosperity of midsummer joy.

Equilibrium Rings
The minimalist design of these rings was intended to enhance the qualities of the rows of black and white diamonds. They express the universal beauty of duality. Together or separately, they represent harmony.

Baltic Breeze Ring
This elegant engagement ring is set with an aquamarine and diamonds. It depicts misty seaside of the Baltic sea. Even on a cloudy day, the surface of the sea catches some glitter in contrast to the sandy dunes. The atmosphere is better to be shown than told. The anthem of calmness and majesty.
