ANAKATARINA

Born in Boston to parents from Yugoslavia and Slovenia, while a university student in the early 90’s Ana-Katarina decided to travel to Belgrade, to report on the Balkans war. While there, she endured being kidnapped, managing to escape with the help of the Bosnian army, and on her return to the US undertook humanitarian work. Ana-Katarina’s direction changed in 2007, when she embarked on jewelry design, with her depth of experience informing her collections. “I keep a visual lexicon in my consciousness created from my background, history, travels, passions, and experiences. When I design, this internal library opens to bring forth the inspirations for my jewelry.”
