We decided to grow copper crystals. We have assembled copper for months, atom by atom, into a cubic crystal frame in an azure blue bath. We galvanized the glittering pink crystals with noble metals so that they would not oxidize. The collection Roste (in Czech “Grow”) was created by the method of electrolysis of a solution of blue vitriol, when for several weeks the copper crystals grew on the copper wire.
Our friend Milan Novacek – Jewellery NOMIO by Milan Nováček helped us with the production.
