Oblik means “shape” in Croatian and forming shapes has been the underlying theme in Hebibs creations. She works with the desire to create the most unique, sculptural, alluring, elegant and most powerful objects in jewelry form. “Oblik Atelier” jewelry marries traditional metalsmithing to timeless designs via fold forming, fabricating, and forging techniques. Each piece is hand sculpted to conform to the body and finished with nickel free 14k gold plating.
