This collection is inspired by all the extremes that Russia holds. From the beautiful decorated Hussar uniforms of Nicholas II and the stunning jewelled Fabergé eggs he gave as presents to his wife, to the cruelties of Russian Roulette and the murders of the last Tsar and his whole family. All pieces in this collection are unique, one of a kind, pieces.
I've expressed the darkness and mysteries by choosing a black and gold colour palette with touches of red and white. There is striking detailing on the jewels. The 'Russian Roulette' pieces each have 5 black stones (representing the empty chambers of a revolver) and 1 red stone (representing the bullet) and they are able to rotate. The cuff bracelets in this collection are one-of-a-kind pieces. They are made from plexiglass with 14K gold inlay, pearls and gemstones like rubies, garnet, tigers-eye and citrine-amethyst. Plexiglass a material which I love working with. It's a challenge, and sometimes a real struggle, but the result is worth it!
