A New Beginning in Cornwall
Born in the Czech Republic, I moved to Cornwall in 2010 for what was meant to be a summer adventure - but fate had other plans.
I fell in love with the wild Cornish coast, the mighty Atlantic Ocean, and the man who would later become my husband.
After our daughter was born, I felt inspired to follow my dream of turning my passion for jewellery into a business. Working every spare moment in my studio, that dream slowly became reality.
Crafting Beauty Inspired by Nature
My fascination with jewellery began in childhood, weaving beaded creations for those dear to me. Encouraged by my family and inspired by fellow artists, I began my journey at Truro College, learning the foundations of silversmithing.
During the lockdown years, I continued to deepen my skills through online diploma courses with the Jewellers Academy - first in Silver Jewellery, then in Fine Jewellery, both completed with distinction. My dedication and love for the craft led to an incredible opportunity: being selected to attend the Jewellers Academy Retreat, featured across three episodes on YouTube.
At the Jewellers Academy Retreat - an inspiring experience that shaped my journey as a jeweller.
What started as a simple creative passion soon became my true calling. Every piece I create celebrates the beauty that surrounds us - the Cornish coast, playful bubbles, and the ever-changing ocean.
My jewellery is a tribute to nature’s calm energy and the stories it tells.
What does Booblinka mean?
The name Booblinka is Czech meaning ‘tiny bubble’.
“I love water, and I love watching the tiny bubbles rise to the surface. I enjoy that moment of peace when you dive under the water, those few seconds of just me and my thoughts and all those tiny bubbles. The water and the ocean inspire me everyday and the name felt like a good representation of that whilst connecting me and my work to my Czech heritage.”
