Description:

Anja is Croatian and Vittorio is Italian. They met and fell in love. They shared a passion for beautiful, handcrafted jewelry. The decided to elevate the traditional jewelry made of coral and other precious stones by giving a modern edge and educating customers about the steps in the process of taking raw materials and transforming them into wearable art and gifts.

My friend and teaching assistant, Manuel Mrkajic wore Clara Stones designs beautifully. She could wear a simple elegant outfit and one signature pair of Clara stones earrings or necklaces and look perfectly put together. I then became a fan and a customer myself. I also travelled to Dubrovnik to meet them and experience their workshops.
