Mariam Ninikashvili
Mariam Ninikashvili has been creating diverse enamel jewelry for nine years. Mariam works the full cycle with enamel – from processing the metal to fitting the enamel. She learned from her goldsmith father, getting involved in the process of metalwork when she was just 10, so she knows every small detail. Mariam had her first individual exhibition at Vache Gallery in 2016. Her next personal exhibition was held in Prague in 2017. Since last year, Mariam has shared her techniques with others, teaching them the secrets of enamel. You can find and get Mariam’s beautiful work in numerous locations: Caucasus Decoroom, Form, Art Line Gallery, and EthnoDesign.

Georgian Gozinaki
Gozinaki is a distinctive species of Georgian sweet. Due to the special love of many for the product, Ana Baramidze decided to make Gozinaki available for fans in all seasons. This is how a new Georgian brand appeared on the market, which bears the name of this sweet itself. She decided that the product should have the shape of a gift. Ana Baramidze's "Gozinaki" is made with white, high-quality walnuts and aromatic honey made of spring field flowers.
"I kept the authenticity and quality of honey. The whole production process is done manually. That is, the product is made entirely by hand,” says Ana Baramidze.
In the first year, Ana, with the help of family members, produced only 70 boxes. The product had its first success soon and also received positive feedback from users. After that, the quantity was gradually increased, the design and packaging form was refined. The first product was fully made in 2009 and after passing all the inspection rules, it appeared on the shelves of the hypermarket "Goodwill", where it still holds a firm place on the shelf of New Year sweets.
