About Me

I'm not very young man,but I feel I have good opinion of life.I'm Latvian.Many people in the world does not know anything about my native land.It's situated on the Eastern shore of Baltic sea.It was occupied by Soviet Russia for 50 years.From 1991st we are independent state again.Now Latvia is member of EU and NATO.%D%AI'm married,not only one time.I have 5 children.All of them are adult now,only my junior-son is 14.%D%ASometimes people ask-am I happy?I can answer-Yes,it's!I can say so because it's a great luck to earn the money by job,what is my hobby,anyway.I'm the jeweler,inloved in archaeology.I have my own school of jewelry making in the past.Ancient jewelry can tell very much interesting stories about people,who had created and worn it.Modern time jewelry customers like ancient inspirations The Smithy of Ancient Jewelry, placed at the side of the Cesis Castle ruins is a unique and interesting place for anyone interested in Latvian culture and past. One could say its where the past meets the present because in the smithy I had spent many years making replicas of ancient jewelry found in 9-12th century graves.I had tried to rediscover the techniques and tools used by jewelers over a thousand years ago in order to make the ornaments exactly how they would have been. However, the making of the jewelry wasn't the only thing which I had thought about. A very important part of the work was figuring out the link between the ancient beliefs and the jewelry as well as the wearing traditions of each piece. For my visitors who are adventurous enough there is a complete set of jewelry waiting to be tried on. Also there is a wide choice of wrought jewelry pieces for sale
