Hormizd – King of Kings set has an authentic silver artifact from Persia aged over 1400 years. A pendant in the Horzmid set is a silver used-to-be coin (drachm) struck in 580’s. I gently cleaned and restored this coin. And Brutish Museum has the same artifact in its collection (Museum number1913,0411.124). So, proudly wear a piece of history!
This gorgeous set made with authentic Late Medieval bronze with some gold plate artifact (over 500 years old)
I got this cross from my relatives and then enamelled it. Silver is getting tarnished quite fast and cleaning such a big piece of jewelry on regular basis is not fun, so jewelry-grade enamel not only brings the colours into this piece, but also protects the metal from oxidation.
Hot-enamelled by me.
Angelos set has an authentic Byzantine artifact aged over 820 years.
Golgotha necklace has authentic bronze Golgotha Tsata Cross from circa 1600 -1700 A.D.
This Seahorse necklace has authentic bronze arrowhead from archaic period dated circa 750-500 BC (more than 2500 years old).
Elena Nahum Leroy cleaned and polished the arrowhead, added hot enamel to emphasize the texture of the metal, wrapped with copper wire and soldered it to secure the position of the metal.
Materials: bronze, copper, sodalite, angelite, vinyl cord.
Fascinus Lazuli set has an authentic ancient silver Roman pendant amulet, dated circa 200 AD – 400 AD (4.8g)
Sterling silver, lapis lazuli
Hand crafted in Canada
I’m from St.Petersburg, Russia, where winters are gloomy-grey and cold. It can be cloudy for 2 or more months without even a single sunny day. In December, at noon it’s not light yet and at 3 pm it’s dark already. Also, apart from many other big cities, St. Petersburg’s central districts were planned by Italian architects and built as a royal city. A lot of streets have, in fact, two or even 4 rows of buildings, but only the first one is visible from the outside.
Apparently, the first row looked beautiful and rich and was made for wealthy landlords. Then through an arch in a wall, you get to another building, less prestigious than the first row; and through another arch to another one, and so on. The yards of the buildings remind the shape of rectangular wells, and one of those is depicted here.

I painted this work in the Commissioners Park during the 2024 Tulip Festivals. The spring was early, so most of the tulips were gone, but the trees were still magnificent and fresh.
