Bubolini Inspired by Spirituality and the Mystical Bulgarian Traditions
Behind the cheerful name and fascinating designs of Bubolini shines the talented Gergana.
Her artistic journey began at an early childhood age when a nursery teacher noticed Geri’s gift for art.
Following her artistic route, Geri graduated from the Academy of Music, Dance and Fine Arts in Plovdiv, Bulgaria with a degree in Music Pedagogy. While studying she began crafting various accessories for her friends and family, including keyholders, jewelry and phone decorations. A happy “customer” pointed out she has golden hands and should be using them in starting a business.
This is how Bubolini was born.
In May this year, Bubolini won the jury award for Arts and Crafts Business of the Year in the Bulgarian Business Awards in London. The panel was impressed with the quality and fascinating design of Bubolini’s jewelly and congratulated Gergana on her work to preserve and popularise Bulgarian culture around the world.
Geri passionately preserves and spreds the teachings of the Shevitsa through her pieces. She makes bespoke, handmade earrings, bracelets, necklaces and other jewellery pieces. Her designs capture the attention and hearts of many people from various national and ethnic backgrounds.
