Solčianky
Playful, colorful, cheerful, and trendy — such are the jewelry pieces named Solčianky. When I visited Solčany, I had no idea what a rich collection of folk costumes and costume elements awaited me.
I had noticed the Solčany embroidery some time ago in a book about folk costumes because of one small detail: the beautiful colorful and geometric embroidery on the corners of the apron. I had never seen the Solčany costume in person and had no idea how rich its embroidery was — not only on the apron corners but also on the headdress.
But that detail on the apron corners was exceptional for me. I had never encountered such embroidery before, and it immediately inspired me to create my own stylized embroidery designs, transformed into geometric yet ornamental brooches and sets. I created four unique sets, with each brooch paired with different earrings — as if crafted by the women of Solčany themselves.
