Dear necklace... No... Deer necklace :)

Tuesday, February 22, 2011

I keep working on my one-of-a-kind gallery. This is one of my favourite designs - deers inspired by a 50 years old Russian book for wood carvers. The airy design around it is made with silver and brass wire.

To me the piece looks vintage and modern at the same time. The mixture of styles is just what I like in jewellery.

Brass and silver pendant with smoky quartz

Monday, February 7, 2011

I got to finish this baby today! Just what I really enjoy making: one piece made with as many different techniques as I can only imagine!

The silver piece is cast, the basket for the stone is built of silver wire, the background is pierced and enameled, two background brass pieces are riveted.




Silver locket

Wednesday, February 2, 2011

I've decided to create a new gallery of one-of-a-kind jewellery pieces in my web-site. While the page is in progress I start collecting them in my blog.

This is a locket made of silver and brass.



Runway 2011, Vancouver

Tuesday, January 25, 2011

Full credit for these picture goes to Keith Walters, the photographer who did a great job during the catwalk at the Vancouver Fashion Week 2010, and took all these great shots!

I was also very thankful to the coordinators who paired my jewellery with Papillon, local fashion company, whose designs I happened to just love! They look great together, don't they?

Amethist pendant

Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Getting ready for my Advanced Stone Setting Class is a good reason to make one-of-a-kind piece of jewellery. This pendant is made of silver, copper and brass with an amethist.

My husband had a funny reaction to this pendant.
- Is this a real diamond?
- No, this is a real amethist.
- Hm... Fake diamond?
- No! A REAL amethist! :)



Canadian labradorite pendant

Saturday, January 8, 2011

Most of labradorite stones come from Madagascar nowadays. This one is from Labrador, the area that gave the name to the stone.

Some times I make jewellery for my personal "not-for-sale"collection. This pendant is one of those pieces.




Winter in a Russian fairy-tale

Rina took these pictures near by her house in the suburbs of Moscow, Russia. It happened right before Christmas.











Vancouver Fashion Week 2010

Tuesday, December 28, 2010

It was my second time at the Vancouver Fashion Week. I definitely was prepared much better. I had more time to make an exquisite collection, to find models and a photographer.

My new collection is devoted to the mystery of a dark forest and how ones imagination interprets these complex mysteries when it is placed in this enigmatic environment.

The colors evoke and extenuate a romantic mood: black, aged gold and shadowy brown. Bright blue, fuchsia and crystals are rarely seen together, like two hummingbirds or that first ray of light from a rising sun.


Dramatic combinations of metals and stones emphasize the essence of this new collection:

tarnished copper, antiqued brass, polished silver,
black onyx, shimmering black pearls and auroral crystals. Elegant black lace and hand-crocheted black wire netting provides a sense that the forest is about to unveil its magical wonders.


This image-evoking jewelry, which is both unique and eclectic, is created from airy webbing, metal fringe and bold elements. Necklaces and bracelets are layered, multi-chained, and feminine. Oversized earrings match the theatrics of the other pieces and complete this sophisticated statement.

I would like to thank the coordinators of the Vancouver Fashion Week for giving me an opportunity to participate in this internationally recognized fashion event. For 10 years now VFW has been showcasing emerging as well as established designers. This support brought a respectable reputation to VFW and a global interest from influential consumers and industry professionals. I am honored to be a part of this world-class show.


Vancouver Fashion Week was a great experience for me. Participating in a well organised world-class show is an inspiration on its own. Also, it helps to promote an emerging designer like myself by providing good reason to contact new buyers, and creating exposure through the press and online presence. It also gives existent clients one more reason to be proud of buying my product.
