For all domestic and foreign visitors to Zagreb they have developed the Croatian souvenir “Zlatni licitar” [Gold Licitar Heart], a jewelry line dedicated to the “Licitar” heart as a symbol of fondness and love. The line has been included in a Japanese tourist guide for the young, delighting guests from the Far East for three years already. It offers pendants and bracelets as well as a unique piece with diamonds.

They also cultivate artistic expression through the preservation of the traditional heritage in the form of coral jewelry. They are unique in terms of coral polishing because they do everything from the processing of raw material to the finished product. They draw inspiration from everything around them, and by constant, annual investment in new tools they contribute to the improvement of goldsmith technology.

It is their wish to continue the collaboration with designers on their jewelry collections using improved production technology, particularly focusing on the potential of personalized retail and wholesale lines by providing technical support to young designers. Through everyday efforts and creativity, the Nokaj family intends to keep on attracting domestic and foreign visitors with pieces of jewelry created by their own hands.
