About

Hello and welcome into my world!

My name is Detelina Ivanova. I am an artist from Bulgaria. I have been involved into making glyptics – that ancient art form - for 16 years and I continue studying miniature into the sculpture. My work focuses exclusively on natural minerals. The only stone I have not engraved yet is diamond.

I engrave my gemstones by hand following an ancient technology.

Some of my cameos and intaglios are being offered as completed jewels. Each one of them is unique and it is not possible to be reproduced again even if the will is there on my part. For me this is not a problem to carry out an order in accordance with any given size and theme, including a portrait after a photograph.

I draw my inspiration from the ancient masters’ work, from religions, from nature and from … life.

Thank you whole-heartedly for having taken the time to be together with me like this.
