Kasia Trocka signs her jewellery as trocka_handmade and makes it by hand in Gdynia: bracelets, necklaces and rings made from natural stones. You will find her jewellery at Locus Artis in Gdańsk, where you can see it up close and try it on.
It began in 2023 with jade. Kasia’s sister-in-law dreamed of a necklace of natural jade, and Kasia thought she could really make it herself. She did – and she has been at it ever since.
She works with natural stones: jade, jasper, rose quartz, labradorite, tiger’s eye, lapis lazuli, nephrite, onyx, river stone and mother of pearl – and hematite runs through many of her pieces.
Her autumn collection keeps to two colours, silver and gold. It is minimalist and delicate, yet has a distinct character.
She works intuitively and rarely repeats herself: she finds inspiration all around her, and when something speaks to her, she tries to carry it into her jewellery. She likes symmetrical patterns or a bold break – you will find, for example, a necklace in two contrasting colours.
Kasia Trocka also runs Mano.concept, a concept store on Świętojańska Street in Gdynia and a friend of Locus Artis.
What she brought to Locus Artis.
At Locus Artis you will find bracelets and necklaces of natural stones, often with hematite, braided bracelets, surgical-steel necklaces and a good choice of stone rings. Among them are quite a few necklaces of large beads. Kasia only came to enjoy making them once she warmed to one of them – and then she couldn’t take it off.
