You are one of few who may share the joy of having this jewelry line in your possession.
The arts and techniques we have developed to mastermine this unique line of jewelry is based on creation of icons and later lacquer boxes. Each piece was individually painted by hand over black onyx, carnelian, coral, or mother of pearl.
Our devoted professional artists used the tiny hairbrush that made of squirrel tail fur. After the painting process, the surface was coated with three layers of lacquer. Thus, the image was sealed and the jewelry is safe to wear.
We recommend you clean the silver part of the jewelry with special cleaning fabric instead of liquid solvent.
The beauty of lacquer artworks will stand forever. It will lighten your mind and warm your soul.
