## 'Traditional Silver Jewellery' ![crta.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmadTLum9Npk6RMmzMVJnwBSvk5u6tTvc28ZEVy9Bord6L/crta.png) **In a little street full of cheap clothes vendors, I find Hrvoje. A talkative fellow who specialises in making silver jewellery. But, not just any kind. He crafts the traditional jewellery that was used by Croatian women throughout the history. These are not boring eastern imports one can find in every corner of Europe.**

He explains that frequenting museums, gathering images of archaeological finds and more is a part of his job. He's been doing this for the last 25 years. As you can see, it doesn't look easy to make these the same way they were made centuries ago.

He got this sale spot just recently. Before he was mainly selling at various festivals and fairs. This is the move in the right direction for the city. How many tourists are interested in rows and rows of cheap textile garbage clogging a street?

Hrvoje is also repairing and restoring all sorts of old pieces. Old crafts are so important. Once the techniques are forgotten, they are gone and if need be, they'll need to be reinvented in the future. I believe old crafts should be protected and respected immensely as cultural heritage.

His main customers were folklore groups, traditional dancers and similar groups of interest but today more and more tourists find beauty in this ancient pieces. I am no jewellery expert but I find them quite refreshing for the eye. With the low price of silver, they are quite affordable, too.

Enjoy your day! :-)
