The inspiration for the Cloud pieces is: “The Cloud collection is inspired by the subtle changes of the feathery clouds whilst our jewellery designer Leonid was hiking in the Lake District. “I was mesmerised by the colours and light, and how they had created seamless and weightless shapes in the sky, this inspired me to encapsulate this moment of tranquillity and peace. The pearls have been sourced by myself from a Japanese supplier of pearls. They are exquisite baroque pearls that I handpicked for each ring. Each pearl shapes the ring and determines its overall appearance. 18kt yellow gold is drawn and bent by hand to create a light and strong arch – that technique and style have been inspired by my family heritage”
