About

Rosana Raljević Ceglar (also known as Niiro), a jewellery designer born in Pula /Croatia but currently located in Slovenia. Graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, and during my studies i worked and gained experience working at a Murano glass factory where my job was to create objects in traditional techniques with contemporary design. With a broad knowledge in my pocket i moved to Slovenia in 2000. and started my own graphic and design studio. On my return i also started experimenting with knitting wires in order to create jewellery pieces, what inspired me was the nature around me, the organic structures and the micro-cosmos within each piece of nature i could find. This is how my first collection named ‘Entangled’ started coming together. My work soon evolved into using more and more irregular shapes, the applied techniques improved and gave me the possibility to develop something never seen in jewellery design. “My enthusiasm about the fact that you can create jewellery statement pieces by using a very irregular and random looking knitting process to create pieces which seem so perfect and neat, just as nature itself”. I think even though we live in a chaotic world, nature’s perfection is the solution and no matter how simple the things you work with are, in every piece of nature there is a en enormous potential.
