Autumn bracelet. Work by Bead artist Svetlana Ovintsovskaya

Bead artist Svetlana Ovintsovskaya lives in St.Petersburg, Russia. She studied art at school, and took private lessons in painting. In addition, finished sewing school, and dreamed of becoming a fashion designer. However, she became an engineer after graduating from the Leningrad Technical University.
She found bead-work very interesting, “to make a picture on the neck, which will see hundreds of people in the streets, better than hang picture on the wall!”. In jewelry she prefers animalistic direction: elephants, tigers, lizards, birds, bugs and butterflies. And they all live in the form of brooches or pendants, small masterpieces of jewelry, surrounded by multicolored beads, pearls and natural stones. Indeed, her favorite marine theme is just inexhaustible: colorful fish, crabs, starfish, shells, and mermaids …. Boundless beauty and many ideas for creativity!

Necklace. Simbirtsit is a strange mixture of pyrite, hematite, mother of pearl and onyx marble fused into a single fusion of tens of millions of years ago, when dinosaurs still inhabited the Earth

Not very well known to the wide consumer, Simbirtsit is rare. Mined only in the Ulyanovsk region of Russia, in a single field on the bank of the Volga. Named after the old city of Simbirsk, and that happened not long ago – in 1985, although the first mention of it was in the 18th century. Similar to the amber stone and carnelian, it has the similar properties and fuels its owner with fresh forces and power. Simbirtsit is a symbol of wealth, success and in general, prosperity.
