Meet the Legend!

Today I`ll tell you the story behind our "Legend" pendant written by designer Julia Nikiforova.

Life is such an unpredictable thing... Sometimes your surroundings change within a moment. Today you have everything, tomorrow you`ve got nothing. Yesterday all around you was habitually yet boring but then comes the new day and life starts going full-speed immediately. You can take it as it comes and wait what will happen next. Or you can make a choice and start overcoming all barriers.

Waterfall legend is one of my favorites so I was very thankful to have a chance to work with jewelers and help embody legendary fish in silver.

Koi fish symbolizes the preservation of life and the definition of success. Dragon represents might, wisdom, felicity and prosperity. Jasper`s energy may positively effect on sense of purpose and mind clarity. 

For me "Legend" means power. Power to make decisions and help people in need even when you balance on a tiny stone amongst the mighty flow. I believe that anybody can make the world a better place. It`s all about doing something instead of waiting for something whilst being brave and generous. Inside each of us hides a dragon that will patiently wait until we free him. But how long can you wait?

  

Hello!

My name is Anton Maslov and I work in Ukrainian jewelry company Oringo.
I started this blog to show you talented jewelers, manufacturing processes and tell different stories about my surroundings.









At first, let me tell you more about Oringo.
We are located in a beautiful and pretty big city called Kharkiv.

Kharkiv is known as a cultural and industrial hub. Although since Soviet Union breakup lots of capabilities were lost and big fabrics closed, our city never had a lack of talented people pushing the boundaries in different ways.

Above you see our home where all the silver beauty is made.
We started designing and handcrafting high-quality jewels in July 2004.
Oringo is a family business and a work of my life. Honestly it is hard to describe how I adore our works. We make each jewel from scratch, use only high-quality materials and spend lots of energy on making jewels look amazing.

Nature and creative people inspire us. "Calipso" earrings were drawn for ours "Silver Dream" competition.

 Ring inspired by Aquarium` song called "The day after tomorrow" (№3)

 This jewel is based on childhood memories and architecture state of mind. No gems, pure style.

Designer works with the new model. It really takes time. Check out the result.

I have a lot to show you further, but maybe you want something certain?
Please let me know in the comments.
Thank you for the attention!
