Concept
The «1703» jewelry collection, dedicated to Saint Petersburg, was inspired by the stones used to build the city. The primary materials for the rings include granite, marble, quartzite, and travertine. The rings feature chipped, imperfect shapes. This design choice reflects the fact that the city was built by simple laborers; the marks on the rings allude to the tools used by the artisans. When assembled, the rings form the number 1703, referencing the founding date of Saint Petersburg.
