The jewelry collection is inspired by the image of July in B.L. Pasternak’s poem of the same name. July appears in several forms within the work, each of which has been captured in metal.
The collection consists of four pieces of jewelry that symbolize the image of the lyrical hero.
Ring No. 1
A wild, unkempt steppe breeze, Scented with linden and grass, With clover and the aroma of dill, The summer meadow air.
Ghost Brooch
A ghost wanders through the house. Footsteps overhead all day. Shadows flicker in the attic.
Homestead Brooch
«A household spirit wanders through the home. It pops up uninvited everywhere, Interfering in everything, Creeping toward the bed in a robe, Tearing the tablecloth from the table. If you don’t wipe the threshold clean, It bursts in on a gust of wind And, like a dancer, with the curtain, Soars up to the ceiling.»
Ring House
«This is our resident guest, Our summer cottage visitor. For his short period of stay, We rent him the entire house. July with storms, the July air— He rented rooms from us.»
«July, carrying in his clothes Puff of dandelions, burdock, July, coming through the windows at home, Forever loudly speaking aloud.»
