About me
„I deal predominantly with rings perceiving them as single statuettes. I make collections based on motives that fascinate me. Simultaneously with creating collections I also create custom made engagement and wedding rings. I design unique pieces based on the story of the couple.
There is more to jewellery than merely pleasing the eye, I seek concept.“
Adéla Schicker studied painting and fine jewellery in Prague at Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design. Her artististry has also been influenced by her studies under conceptual jewellery designer Vratislav Novák in Pilsen and at Sheffield Hallam University in United Kingdom. Her jewellery is sought-after for its offbeat approach and intimate message.
