My name is Daria Kuvshinova, and my jewellery is inspired by the
intricate patterns found in nature. In this year's collection
specifically, I drew inspiration from the beautiful and complex
structures of Voronoi diagrams, flowers, and wasp nest cells. Using
3D modelling and programming, I create designs that simulate the
randomness and imperfections found in nature, resulting in truly
unique pieces of jewellery.
The collection also features organic casts of real wasps, akin to
the lost wax casting technique. As the organic matter is consumed by
the casting process, a one-of-a-kind mold of a naturally deceased
wasp is left behind, thereby underscoring the interplay between life
and life-like.
I believe that art and technology can work together to create
beautiful, thought-provoking pieces that connect us to the world
around us. My use of 3D printing and casting (I do both myself
in-house) allows me to highlight the relationship between the
natural and the man-made, while my incorporation of plique-a-jour
enamelling invites light into my designs as a symbol of life and
creative power.
With my jewellery, I hope to inspire others to explore the
connections between art, science, and the natural world, and to
appreciate the intricate beauty that surrounds us every day.

You can turn everything into silver, with my help! I'm
taking you on a buzzing journey into the world of organic
casting, where we'll craft a unique piece of jewelry
featuring a real bee. 🐝 Just take a look at this stunning
piece! It all starts with an idea, just like the one you might
have in mind. Whether it's a pendant, a ring, or something
truly out of the ordinary, I'm here to bring your vision to
life. 🐝 I carefully sourced an ethically harvested bee
specimen, ensuring that no harm is done to these amazing
creatures. 🐝 Preserving the bee is a delicate process. I encase
it in a mold, making sure every detail is captured, preserving
its intricate beauty forever. Then it’s where the magic happens.
I melt the metal and pour it directly into the mold, embracing
the bee's form, and turning it into a wearable work of art.
🐝 After cooling and careful finishing, I have your unique bee
jewelry, brimming with the essence of nature and craftsmanship.
🐝 Notice the remarkable textures and details that only organic
casting can create. Every piece is a tribute to the natural
world, and it's as exceptional as the bee itself. 🐝 I
personally hand-finish each piece, ensuring it meets my high
standards of craftsmanship. I believe in quality over quantity,
and that's what sets my work apart. ✨ But the best part?
Seeing the joy on your face when you receive your custom bee
jewelry. It's not just jewelry; it's a connection to
nature and a symbol of the beauty that surrounds us. ✨ So, are
you ready to own a piece of nature's wonder? Just drop me a
DM, and we'll start crafting your unique bee jewelry
together. Whether it's for a special occasion or just to
celebrate life's beauty, let's make it memorable. ✨
Keep shining, keep smiling, and keep connecting with the world
around you!
