The journey of TENZO began with Alexander Tenzo’s trip to Sri Lanka — his first acquaintance with the world of gemstones, which introduced him to the passion of his life. For several years, Alexander was involved in the mining and cutting of Nature’s wonderful creations in Asia and Africa, which formed the basis for the future jewellery collections. At first, he was focused on a play with forms and colour combinations, but over time he grew more closely engaged with the art of jewellery and traditional techniques, thus opening boundless opportunities for the creation of his jewellery pieces. Gradually moving forward, Alexander met with craftsmen who possessed the appropriate skills and abilities to implement his visions.
The work is carried out with various kinds of rare gems, and the jewels are created in a single instance.
