How far would you be willing to go to fulfill your dream? Radka Petrásková, jeweler and founder of the Emmé atelier, traveled all the way from the Czechia to Italy for hers. Experience the story of her indomitable spirit and the love that led her to this noble craft.
Radka originally studied graphic design but felt she needed a change. “I was missing closer contact with the material and creative freedom,” she explains. Longing to become the creator of symbols that unite two spouses — wedding rings — she enrolled in a goldsmithing course.
Master of the Jeweler’s Craft
She gained experience in a Slovak studio before enrolling in the oldest goldsmithing academy in Rome. The spark ignited by her first piece drove her to perfect the art of transforming abstract ideas into concrete jewelry and master modern methods. Thus, the apprentice became a master.
Her jewelry combines the subtlety of natural forms with the precision of the craft. As she says: “I have always been fascinated by seeking balance between structure and freedom, between the irregularity of nature and the purity of form.” She creates in silence, focused entirely on her vision. “Most of the work requires full concentration, especially when I set stones that are sometimes less than 1 millimeter under a microscope, or when I solder delicate jewelry with fire,” she adds.
Golden Meadows
In 2025, Radka opened her showroom in Hradec Králové (a Czech city located east of Prague, Ed.). Here, she presented the Floralia collection, inspired by the indomitable spirit of meadow flowers. Created from 14-karat gold, diamonds, and sapphires, the jewelry carries the energy of life and rebirth. They are designed to accompany your stories — from your wedding day to the quiet celebrations of personal victories.
Will you say yes to them?
