The value and the meaning of our brand are based on jewellery of our own design, in line with fashion trends. It is renowned for its high quality, which is infused into all our products by our experienced master jewellers using the latest technology. We operate locally and think globally, which is why we are recognised and appreciated both at home and far beyond our borders.
CAREFULLY DESIGNED
The jewellery design process combines in-depth research and detailed planning with imagination and sensuality. Our design team lead by Désirée Kolarec successfully transforms the best of both worlds, first into an idea and then into our products.
AN UNSTOPPABLE DESIRE FOR PROGRESS
Our design team is connected by a strong love for jewellery, many years of experience, and an unstoppable desire for personal and professional progress. They recognise their mission in designing modern, timeless jewellery distinguished by its comfortable wear, as well as the artistic and technological perfection of both the minute details and of the form as a whole.

MADE WITH LOVE
The story of our brand is the story of the people contributing to its creation. In Zlatarna Celje, we appreciate our vocation, approaching it with passion and dedication. We pour our thoughts and feelings, our culture and values, and our experiences into the jewellery we make. Our products are therefore always a reflection of the time and space in which we live, and of our connection to the people for whom we create them.
TRADITION KEEPING PACE WITH THE TIMES
Once the idea and design for our products have been perfected, it is time for our team of experts to bring them to life.
This task is entrusted to our development team consisting of our goldsmith expert Erika Lakner, our main gem setter Gašper Virant, and our head of development and 3D-planning Grega Palir. The impeccability of their products is a reflection of the fact that their work follows both traditional notions and modern technologies.
»“The jewellery made in Zlatarna Celje has an artistic and sentimental value, and is carefully crafted by our goldsmith experts.”
FROM OUR HANDS TO OURS
Did you ever wonder how our jewellery was made? How many hands it has passed through, from the initial idea to the final product?
Here is the answer: since every single one of our products is carefully enhanced to perfection, it is handled by no less than 30 people. From designers to people who handle rubber moulding, casting, removal of runners, manual and mechanical polishing, soldering, setting, polishing, assembling, stamping, quality control, packaging etc., all the way through to our vendors who put the jewellery on display into our jewellery display windows, helping you choose the perfect fit to your heart’s desire.
A GIFT FOR THE NEW GENERATIONS… …
It is no coincidence that our ancestors have been sharing their experiences through jewellery. Here in Zlatarna Celje, our products are designed with the utmost care: out of a thousand ideas in the sky, we only reach for the brightest stars that will continue to shine for generations to come. In this way, we show our respect not only for the precious materials but also for our planet. In Zlatarna Celje, we are striving to create our collections using recycled gold. More importantly than that, our collections are designed to be worn by great-grandmothers and their great-granddaughters alike. In our opinion, sustainable use is the best way to take care of the environment. Gold remains when clothes have long since turned to shreds, when technologies are no longer relevant and when our souls have left our bodies. Sometimes, all it takes is a little love to bring back its former luster. Our jewellery has an artistic and sentimental value, and is carefully crafted by our goldsmith experts. Jewellery made in Zlatarna Celje is therefore, in many ways, a gift for the new generations… …
»For us, it is extremely important that our collections are designed to be worn by great-grandmothers and their great-granddaughters alike.«
