Meet Stefan
Hello! I'm Stefan, the maker behind Stefan's Alkimia. What started as an experiment with a laser engraver quickly became a passion for creating unique, wearable art.
Based in Bulgaria, I combine the precision of laser technology with traditional handcraft. Each piece is designed, cut, and painted by me in my small workshop.
My inspiration comes from the creatures I love – capybaras, cats, foxes – and the aesthetics that resonate with me: dark academia, cottagecore, and a touch of whimsy.
The Making Process
From digital design to your ears
Design
Each design starts as a digital illustration, carefully crafted for laser engraving.
Laser Carving
Designs are precision-cut and engraved onto linden plywood – a tree traditionally used for protective charms.
Hand Painting
Each piece is hand-painted with acrylic paints and sealed for durability.
Final Touch
Hypoallergenic hooks are attached, and each pair is quality-checked before shipping.
Sustainable Materials
I use linden plywood – the linden tree is sacred in Slavic folklore for its protective and magical properties.
Handmade with Care
Every piece is made to order, ensuring quality and reducing waste.
Made in Bulgaria
Supporting local craft and shipping with love from the Balkans.
