Art Shop Unique

Our bracelet station was a hit at the event so I decided to keep it for a while and if you visit us now, you can still have your custom made summer bracelet.

Also, I just wanted to use this opportunity to reflect and say once more how I am so happy to be surrounded ba amazing people who support what I do.
We really had a special evening to celebrate these 18 years so I'm wondering, why didn't I start celebrating sooner. Maybe we should make this a tradition, just next time, a little later in the summer to skip the crazy heat.

To everyone who came, I want to say a big thank you. You made my evening really special.
Also a big thank you goes to Prgin Winery and Vinas Mora to keep us hydrated in the best possible way 🍷🍾🥂

Thank you for 18 years of support and let's do this again. The 20 year anniversary is getting closer 🥰😍

Sometimes, someone puts your story into words better than you could yourself.

Thank you, Žena.hr, for this beautiful feature and for understanding that Art Shop Unique has always been about much more than jewelry.

I'm truly honored.

Osamnaest godina nakon prvih koraka u maloj radionici u srcu Primoštena, Art Shop Unique proslavio je veliki jubilej. Brend Ivane Mrduljaš danas je prepoznat i izvan Hrvatske, a brački kamen, ručna izrada i suvremeni dizajn i dalje su njegov zaštitni znak

A special crowd for a very special day. 🤍

It was a true pleasure to host this intimate gathering with the people who have been my support over the past 18 years. Some of you I've known for even longer, while others I met along the way. Some were colleagues, some classmates, some are family—but each of you has left a mark on my path and helped shape what Art Shop Unique is today.

This celebration was for you.

Thank you for being there and for sharing this beautiful moment with me.

18 years of creativity.
18 years of love.
18 years of Unique.

If you forgot your souvenirs, RUN 🏃‍♂️ to CroCraft shop in Split Airport. It's newly opened and full of my unique jewelry. Find it on the ground floor!

This is for everyone who visited Primošten but didn’t have time to stop by my shop, and for everyone who wanted to take home a meaningful piece of Croatia ➡️ Finally I can announce there is now another place to find it.

Seeing my work reach new places after 18 years of creating feels amazing! 🥳🥳🥳

Thanks everyone for the support 🤍

There’s something really satisfying about answering:
“Where’s it from?” and getting to say:
I made it myself in my small studio in Croatia.

Every piece of jewelry I make is handcrafted from Brač limestone, and every bead passes through my hands. It’s a little piece of the Adriatic, shaped into something meaningful that you can keep close to you every day. To me, that feels much more special than wearing another mass-produced accessory made in a factory somewhere, created in thousands of identical pieces.

I think more people are starting to care about where things come from, who made them, and whether there’s an actual story behind them.

Do you care where your jewelry comes from?
Tell me in the comments.

Eighteen years of working with Brač limestone taught me its shape, weight, and texture.

But there’s something different about meeting a material where it begins, seeing the hands that still know how to split it, the landscape that holds it, and the rhythm it carries long before it becomes the jewelry I make.

What I came home with is a different way of seeing the same stone.

Would you have made the same trip?

Creating is a lot of fun and I consider myself really happy that I can call this my job.
The little girl in me is definitely proud I chose this as my career.
Sometimes I still stop for a second and think how weird it is that this is actually my everyday life now. Sitting at my work table, surrounded by beads, stone, tools, unfinished ideas, and coffee cups… and somehow all those random little “ingredients” turn into finished jewelry people wear all around the world.

Most pieces start with me just putting things next to each other and seeing what feels right. There’s honestly no super glamorous process behind it. Sometimes I immediately know what works, and sometimes I make something, stare at it for 20 minutes, take it apart again, and start over 😅

I think that’s why handmade jewelry feels different though. Every piece passes through my hands a hundred times before it’s finished.
And I still genuinely get excited seeing everything come together. Especially at the end, when the table is a complete mess but the finished pieces are sitting there looking all pretty and organized.

Also, if you’ve been here for a while, thank you for following along and supporting what I do. It still means a lot to me that something I make in my tiny workshop in Croatia ends up becoming part of someone’s everyday life somewhere else 🤍
