Olga Vondráková Jewellery (OVJ) was born as a natural continuation of a long journey between science, nature, and art. I, originally a biologist with a Ph.D., decided after years of scientific research to transform my deep love for nature into tangible beauty. Since 2013, I have devoted myself to jewellery making and have become a pioneer of natural object electroforming in the Czech context.
I began with copper-plated botanical forms, using electroforming to transform real organic materials into jewellery and art objects. Through this process, I have opened the door for many creators to explore this unique technique. My first brand, Nature in Drop, remains active to this day, dedicated to copper jewellery, electroforming education, and author-led courses that have welcomed hundreds of passionate participants from all over the world.
Over time, I felt the need to create a more exclusive line – a space for jewellery made from precious metals and gemstones, with stronger artistic expression and a distinctive personal identity. From this vision emerged Olga Vondráková Jewellery – a brand that works with deep respect for natural forms and stories. It brings a new dimension to electroforming, elevating it to the level of true goldsmithcraftsmanship.
The Logo
The OVJ logo carries deep symbolic meaning. It is a visual representation of what I have been doing for over a decade: transforming nature into jewellery.
At the heart of the logo is a gold ring, stylised into the letter “O”, symbolising cycles, continuity, and feminine strength.
From the ring emerges a delicate leaf, which seamlessly transitions into the letter “V” – referencing the surname Vondráková.
This leaf is no coincidence. It is a leaf of linden, the national tree of the Czech Republic. I frequently use real linden leaves in my jewellery collections. The logo highlights the Czech origin and authorship of the brand, as well as its deep connection to local nature and heritage.
The whole composition expresses the brand’s philosophy: organic shapes of nature (the leaf) are transformed through artistic technology into lasting treasures (the ring) – symbols of beauty, value, and timelessness.
A brilliant-cut gem detail on the crown of the ring refers to the use of noble materials and the precision of handcrafted work.
The gold colour represents nobility and elegance, while the green leaf evokes life, growth, and nature as a source of inspiration.
The logo is more than a symbol – it is a visual essence of the brand: capturing the fleeting beauty of nature and preserving it in a form that tells a story and endures.
