Besides semiprecious materials, he also uses gold, precious stones and other materials in his work, like silk, lace, enamel, prepared insects...
The aesthetics of Sovilj brand is a result of the author’s inspiration by nature, cosmos and ancient cultures. His pieces also reflect a great influence of geometric art deco.
