Pawel Kaczynski's "Metal First" story:
For over 20 years I have been designing and making jewelry. The individual nature of my work is the result of many years of experimentation with goldsmithing techniques, the search for new properties of metals and individual technical solutions.
My works are not only the collections of jewelry but also an attempt of creative expression in jewelry as a field of art. I took part in over a hundred exhibitions and international competitions of jewelry. My works are in the collections of art museums in many countries.
Everything is skilfully handmade by me and my team, combining modern technology and traditional techniques.
I hope you have as much fun wearing them as we do making and creating them for you.
