"My name is Ruzan Gevorgyan, and jewelry has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Even from a young age, I found myself drawn to the idea of creating wearable art, and I began making unique accessories for myself and my loved ones. What started as a simple hobby quickly turned into a passion, as I realized how meaningful it was to craft something personal that people could wear, cherish, and connect with. To this day, my family and friends still wear those early pieces, each one made with care and attention to detail. Seeing them enjoy my work inspired me to deepen my skills and eventually turn my passion into a lifelong journey of jewelry creation.

"In the beginning, I worked primarily with natural stones, carefully choosing each stone for its beauty, energy, and unique character. Natural stones, with their rich colors and natural textures, added a depth to my jewelry that felt grounding and timeless. However, as I progressed, I began to experiment with other materials and techniques, constantly pushing myself to bring fresh ideas to my designs. My curiosity led me to explore the world of polymer clay, silver, and a range of other materials that allowed me to create new textures, shapes, and styles. This was an exciting turning point in my journey, as it opened up a world of creative possibilities.

"Today, my jewelry is a blend of materials that capture nature in all its beauty and strength. I love working with silver, natural flowers, natural stones, enamel, and resin, combining these elements to create unique pieces that embody both elegance and earthiness. The combination of these materials allows me to create designs that feel alive, almost as if they hold a piece of nature within them. Each piece is like a miniature world, a wearable landscape that celebrates the harmony and balance of the natural world.

"One of my favorite techniques is incorporating natural flowers into my jewelry. I carefully select and preserve each flower, capturing its delicate beauty in resin or enamel so that its charm is preserved forever. These floral pieces are like wearable gardens, allowing the wearer to carry a little piece of nature with them wherever they go. Each flower has its own story, and I love the idea that these stories can be shared and appreciated by those who wear my jewelry.

"My work with polymer clay has also been incredibly rewarding, as it gives me the freedom to play with colors, shapes, and textures in ways that other materials don’t allow. Polymer clay is so versatile, and it allows me to bring a sense of vibrancy and playfulness to my pieces. I often pair polymer clay with silver, as the cool, refined nature of silver balances the colorful and organic feel of the clay. This contrast creates a harmony that I find deeply satisfying—a blend of structure and spontaneity, tradition and innovation.

"Natural stones continue to play an essential role in my designs, and I choose each stone with great care, often selecting stones for their energetic properties as much as their visual beauty. I believe that stones have their own personalities and qualities, and I enjoy working with them to create pieces that can bring a sense of calm, strength, or inspiration to the wearer. Whether it’s the grounding presence of onyx or the gentle warmth of rose quartz, each stone has something unique to offer, and I strive to honor that in my designs. Through my work, I aim to create jewelry that feels alive and meaningful. Every piece I make is infused with my love for nature and my respect for the artistry of jewelry-making. I want my creations to be more than just accessories; I want them to be talismans of strength, beauty, and individuality. I believe that jewelry can be a powerful form of self-expression, a way for people to connect with themselves and the world around them.

"Creating jewelry is not just my profession—it’s my way of bringing a little more beauty and connection into the world. Each piece I make carries a part of my spirit and my love for nature, and I hope that my jewelry brings joy and inspiration to those who wear it. Thank you for taking the time to learn about my journey, and I look forward to sharing my work with you.""
