More information
With its instantly recognizable style, Rosa Taikon's jewelery combines traditional Romani craftsmanship with Scandinavian modernist simplicity. When her brother was murdered she took a course in silversmithing to be able to carry on the family traditions herself and thanks to a bracelet she created she was accepted to Konstfack even though she lacked formal qualifications. Wearing a Rosa Taikon bracelet is a tribute to both her art and lifelong struggle for the equal value of all people.
