ERIDA Tools & Repoussé is the result of the collaboration between two passionate Bulgarian jewelers, Polina Dimitrova and Stefano Sottocorna.

Their story began in 2023, in the inspiring atmosphere of Master Valentin Yotkov’s workshops, where the sound of chasing hammers and the scent of polished metal filled the air. Drawn together by a shared love for repoussé, chasing, and the meticulous craftsmanship these techniques demand, they began working side by side on small projects, each one teaching them something new about the other’s artistry.

As their collaboration deepened, they noticed a recurring challenge: finding tools and materials that met the precision and quality their craft required.

 Rather than compromise, they set out to find and create them. What started as a way to equip their own benches soon grew into something larger: a shared vision to make these specialized tools available to other artisans.

Thus, ERIDA Tools & Repoussé was formed; a company rooted in tradition, built by craftspeople for craftspeople, and devoted to keeping the art of metalwork alive with the finest tools possible.
