The Infinity collection represents the hitherto pinnacle of the Blueberries' work, based on fusing 3D-print technology and fine craftsmanship. The collection's subject is infinity and repetition. The jewels thus reflect the shape of the Möbius strip, fractals and tessellation, which embody infinity to the authors. The collection intentionally looks futuristic but at the same time classical, almost old-fashioned; that is exactly how the artists cope with the subject of infinity. Thus the jewels display the established Blueberries' morphology, but can also evoke the impression of classical pieces from a granny's jewel box. All of the collections by Blueberries work with precise geometry which, however, grows out of an irregular foundation, an aspect most explicit in the present collection. At first sight, the jewels look as if they are composed in a repeated pattern, but closer inspection reveals a lot more details. The collection is inspired by the infinite outer space; hence also its very spectacular presentation, including a video created in cooperation with the composer Filip Míšek. The Infinity collection comprises minute earrings for everyday use as well as larger pieces intended for special occasions. An inseparable part of the process of the jewels' origination is not only conceptual designs and subjects, designing in 3D software and wax printing, but also casting to precious metals and final finishes including processing by hand.

"A jewel is a small statue that people wear to be more beautiful, more interesting. At the same time, jewelry expresses one's personality to a certain degree."

Established by Markéta Richterová and Zbyněk Krulich last year, Blueberries is a new brand of jewelry made in 3D technology. This progressive technology – with nylon powder serving as a source material, which the printer prints layer by layer – facilitates creating plentiful inner structures that would be very difficult to achieve manually. "Our first collection was inspired primarily by nature, the structure of tree branches, the world of the sea, and details of Sagrada Familia by Gaudí. Since we both like abstract work, we transformed its into a more abstract form expressed by e.g. generated script or computer geometry," explain Richterová and Krulich. Despite using hi-tech methods and mathematic approaches to generating patterns, the collection is not only impressive, but also tender.
