Driven by a desire to break free from the conventional and create something extraordinary, Adi decided to pursue his lifelong passion for Jewellery.

Raised on stories of pearls and guided by his father's expertise, Adi inherited not only a wealth of knowledge but also a deep appreciation for the art of Jewellery making.

Yet, Adi knew that to truly excel in his craft, he needed to expand his horizons beyond pearls. With a thirst for knowledge and a determination to learn, he set out to explore renowned Jewellery workshops worldwide, immersing himself in the intricate artistry of diamonds, gemstones, colors, and designs.
But Adi's journey was not merely about mastering the technical aspects of Jewellery making; it was about infusing each piece with meaning and emotion. Inspired by his desire to create connections and evoke emotions through his creations, Adi set out to craft pieces that transcended mere adornment, weaving stories and themes into every design.
