“
I
nmy mind, there are fireworks that are
constantly going off,” says Ana-Katarina
Vinkler-Petrovic, the founder of sustainable
fine-jewelry brand AnaKatarina. This
eclectic way of thinking appears in her
soulful, beautifully made creations, which the
designer describes as “classic with a wrinkle.” They
have a smooth, elegant and luscious look that makes
them instantly stand out.
The Boston-based designer, who is self-taught,
trained in Kuwait with a Lebanese craftsman who
had learned his skill in Italy. She also spent time in
Istanbul’s goldsmith workshops, Athens, Paris and
New York. She devotes a lot of time to researching
her collections, and follows her intuition when
transforming an inspiration into handcrafted jewels.
Her most recent collection, Love Token, started
as a Pinterest search for ancient coins. It led to the
discovery of spintriae tokens from ancient Rome,
