Circle of Style: Geometric Fine Jewellery by Ferrat Paris
The most wearable jewellery collections have strong foundations. Recently, I had the opportunity to sit down with Olena Ragagnin, the creative director of Ferrat Paris, to discuss her debut collections and the chic, timeless mood they convey. Although pure in essence, these jewels are perfectly calibrated to her target crowd of busy, independent women looking for effortlessly sophisticated pieces for daily wear. Here, we discuss Ragagnin’s business background, her first foray into jewellery, and her passion for colourless diamonds.
As you may know by now, I love a jewellery origin story. Sometimes I’m told these tales long after a brand has found its feet, while other times, I’m invited to witness a collection right at the start of its journey. Ferrat Paris is a good example of the latter. When I met the brand’s creative director and general manager, Olena Ragagnin, earlier this year, she was only 18 months into her new role in fine jewellery. She had the spark of an idea for sure, but an atelier visit made her realise she could design and produce her own creations. Since then, she’s debuted four Ferrat Paris ranges, each one crafted to impeccably high standards by a Parisian atelier with high jewellery experience. Securing this savoir faire for an emerging brand is impressive and highlights how passionate Ragagnin is about superior quality and finishing.
