The hand-made collection produced by the Belda family enterprise comes from traditional jewellers' techniques and juggles with the subject of water. The two generations of jewellers sought their inspiration from water not only in the morphology but also in the selection of materials. The collection therefore abounds in pearls and corals and also figuratively employs the mineral moldavite. The motion of the water surface, then, inspired both the gliding necklaces and the vibrating clusters of river pearls in the form of charming earrings. The shape of the brooches reminds one of dragonflies and the so-called common pond skaters, thus perfectly fitting into the chosen subject, albeit being studded with Czech garnets. The latter mineral inseparably belongs to the family's native region and follows on from the preceding successful collection, aptly entitled Bohemian Paradise. It consists of both gold and silver pieces and represents a charming dialogue between the Belda parents and their youngest daughter, Viktorie. And equally as the family holds together, although each of their members is a strong personality, the Out of the Water collection is a compact complex of classical materials and methods, upgraded by fresh, modern expression.
