The focus of the workshop is on making jewelry by hand, particularly replicas of old Croatian jewelry, on repairs, and on the restoration of old jewelry and silverware. Not allowing the goldsmith heritage to fall into oblivion, Kruno Krznarić has brought traditional earrings such as Konavle and Mljet folk earrings to perfection, authentically replicating even the tiniest of details.
With more than sixty years of family tradition, the Jewelry Store Krznarić today boasts unique pieces from original collections.

Among a large number of artistically impressive and professionally demanding collections, one of the more conspicuous is “Kapja zlata” [A Drop of Gold], inspired by a symbol of the olive. It has been recognized for its originality, and for this reason it was at one point featured in a Croatian Designers Association exhibition. For other collections Krznarić often finds inspiration in botany, and consequently he dedicated a whole jewelry line to the wings of the aquatic dance fly.
He prides himself on the collection of masks inspired by the carnival tradition that adorn rings and bracelets, and on the futuristic collection of satellite earrings, rings, and badges.
For his last collection he has chosen the Möbius strip and translated it into a badge, pendant, ring, cufflinks, and bracelets.
