The beginning of creativity is a vision. The creativity has a desire for life itself. It requests from the artist to be transmitted on paper in the form of a draft. The drafts are being reduced to dozens and dozens, perfecting themselves as the natural course of evolution. Finally, the draft is approved for modeling.
Reviving the vision is neither fast nor easy. The team is regularly consulted about every step of creation. Everyone is a professional in a certain field. But they all have the same goal. The team consists of artists such as designers, modelers, craftsmen, jewelers. Together they shape a piece that will adhere to your skin when the right moment comes.
A piece of precious metal is shaped by jeweler. In order to create a stronger connection between the created elements, the jeweler meticulously finishes the assembly of the final structure with a welding torch.

Mastering is achieving such an effect of movement and dynamics in jewel crafting.
The high gloss effect of diamonds is achieved by working in several phases. The diamonds are polished to their full shine mechanically. The mechanism polishes every gem up to 50 times.

At the final stage, diamonds are placed on the already prepared construction. For each diamond, it takes an hour of positioning. One fascinating piece of jewelry is being created per 500 hours of precision work.
