From the moment the idea of a surrealist jewellery photoshoot crossed my mind, I couldn’t get it out of my head. I imagined mirrors with unexpected reflections, dripping diamond tears, hall-of-mirrors camera effects, and even magnifying glasses! Below, you will see the results of this creative project, which was a collaboration between myself, photographer Ksenia Usacheva and make-up artist Alina Sotskaia. I would also like to thank the jewellers who so generously donated their pieces to be featured in this editorial. I’m sure you will agree that their outlandish, colourful and contrasting jewels are the perfect focal points for these surreal shots!
