Olia's Story
Olia is a NYC-based jewelry designer, driven by her genuine passion for creating. With inspiration flowing abundantly from people, colors, nature, dreams and reality, she conceives and creates an eclectic body of work with a distinct flair.
Originally from the former Soviet Union, Olia's talent was relocated across an ocean at the age of 11. Her first jewelry-making aspirations began when she was 7. An education in computer science, the product of a pragmatic Russian tradition, was to follow and lead to what most see as a start of a successful career on Wall street. Paradoxically, her passion for creative invention continued to grow even stronger while working in the corporate world. In 2003, Olia left her practical career and put together her first jewelry collection. Since then, she has been playing with symmetry and asymmetry, perfectly faceted and imperfectly rough semi-precious stones, innovative and ancient-inspired color combination, to produce an aesthetic both alluring and meaningful.
