What?

A Jewelry Fairytale
The Chicken Ryaba
This project is inspired by the Russian folk tale “The Chicken Ryaba.”
By drawing on peasant traditions, I reimagine them in a contemporary form.
The project includes a collection of jewelry pieces along with its graphic design.
The key piece of the collection also serves as its logo.
The collection is created using both 3D and handcrafted techniques.
The pieces are made of silver with gold plating.
Egg and chicken
Pendant
Once upon a time, there lived an old man and an old woman.
And they had a hen.
One day, the hen laid an egg — not an ordinary one, but a golden egg...
Nest
Ring
The old man hit and hit, but couldn’t break it.
The old woman hit and hit, but couldn’t break it.
A little mouse ran by, swished its tail — and the egg broke.
Chicken
Ring
The old man cried, the old woman cried,
and the hen clucked:
“Don’t cry, old man, don’t cry, old woman,
I’ll lay you a new egg — not a golden one, but a simple one!”
