Jewelry has been part of my life for more than 20 years, but my story began elsewhere: I originally trained as a journalist and sociologist. After working in those fields for several years, in 2002 my teenage passion for making jewelry resurfaced and slowly grew into something much bigger.

What started as creating fashion jewelry as a hobby turned into a profession in 2011, when Vadjutka became my full-time brand. Along the way, my work matured as well: in 2012 I earned my silversmith qualification and later refined my craft under the mentorship of applied artist and goldsmith Katalin Jermakov.
