ARMOURERS AMONG JEWELLERS
The House of THÉSAURÍ approaches jewellery creation as a continuation of the medieval armourers' tradition.
Craft
A knight's life depended on the armourer's work, and only the best an era could offer was used in his craft. THÉSAURÍ follows the same code when choosing its materials and manufacturing methods.
The House works with surgical-grade stainless steel and uses PVD coating technology to plate rhodium, applying a layer as thick as the process allows, twice the industry standard.
Design
In its designs, the House once again draws on the armourers' tradition. The shape of armour was determined by its era, and its symbolism by heritage.
This is how THÉSAURÍ jewellery is created: aesthetically, it belongs to the present, and it bears symbols that connect it to the past.

Symbols
Before the first line is drawn, the House spends a year on research. Artistic Director Pavol Kroft studies museum collections, medieval charters, chronicles and epics.
THÉSAURÍ finds the authentic core of a symbol in the alloy of myth and history.
Creation
Work on a piece begins with dozens of hand-drawn sketches and clay models made by Pavol Kroft himself. Only then is the first metal prototype created.
Style
House Curator Irina Kroft evaluates how each piece fits today's wardrobe and assesses whether its form is timeless.
Material
For its signature metal, the House of THÉSAURÍ chose stainless steel, a reference to the sword, the material embodiment of knighthood.
Testing
Prototypes are worn and tested for several weeks. Production begins only once they have passed every test.
Exclusivity
THÉSAURÍ designs are made in limited editions.
Once a collection closes, production ends, so each piece remains rare.
Every collection is conceived and refined over months; the full creation cycle for each THÉSAURÍ design takes 1.5 to 2 years.
The first CHEVALIER pieces will be available for pre-order from 14 to 16 October 2026
