«Karelian Forest» is a collection of minimalistic jewelry (rings, earrings, pendants) using structural elements of pine cones.
I really liked the scale of this bump, which has undergone many sketching options on paper and in 3D.
In the photo: a version of the ring in green, as well as a version of the ring at the stage of project development.
The entire collection (rings, earrings, pendants) was created thanks to just one photo of a pine cone that was found on the shore of Lake Syamozero in Karelia.
The structural element of the pine cone, its scale, was taken as a basis.
The work is inspired by the natural resources of the Karelian region, however, there is no direct quote. The shapes have been creatively redesigned in a modern way, and modern materials have been used, for example, nanoceramics.
I live in Karelia, which consists entirely of forests and lakes. The beauty of natural forms surrounds me everywhere, but even for me it was a discovery of the splendor and elegance in the arrangement of the structural elements of an ordinary pine cone, it was only necessary to photograph it from an unusual angle.
The objects of nature are always harmonious (the scales in a pine cone form a double Fibonacci spiral) and embody tranquility, so jewerly based on such references are ideal for residents of large cities where the natural component is minimized and a completely different rhythm of life.
These colored jewelry are made of titanium (the previous 3 photos) with a glossy and matte effect. The main part of the jewelry from the collection is made of silver using nanoceramics.
Techniques — die casting, manual processing, coating with nanoceramics, fixing stones, anodizing titanium.
Using the stylization technique, sketches of various jewelry were created, and green and black (nanoceramics), purple, blue, pink (anodized titanium), natural stones — amethysts, chrome diopides, tsavorites or transparent cubic zirconia were chosen as an accent.
The audience consists of girls and women, possibly from a creative (design, art criticism, beauty) environment (for example, stylists) or having a creative hobby, loving travel and natural themes. They like minimalistic, concise jewelry, while they want to demonstrate their individuality.
