About aka jewellery

We are two young jewellers from Lithuania, Vilnius. Ausra Bankauskaite and Mante Maskoliunaite. We work together for three years now under "aka jewellery" name, which means - also known as jewellery.
This name didn't come from nowhere. We will try to explain a situation a bit.. We make conceptual jewellery, which is not always understood in our country. Sometime people are not used to see something different, that's why our works are subscribed as a design, not a jewellery peaces.

In our work we try to combine many different materials from diodes to medical pills. Also with our work want to show that jewellery can be not only an accessory, but can exist as a form of conceptual and contemporary art.
