igor reached out to me through my website a couple of years ago. he was working with a very special material called Fordite, also known as Detroit agate, Motor City agate, or paint rock. it is formed from finely layered paint deposits from automobile factories. most of it comes from Ford plants, which is how it got its name. my father worked at Ford for quite some time so this resonated with me. Fordite is not the easiest material to work with, but igor has truly managed to tame it, creating beautiful pieces that immediately capture one’s attention. i have shared his unique work on Instagram and today I share his story. OST ARTEFACTS by Igor Korkin I grew up in Ostankino, a Moscow neighborhood dedicated to USSR space explorers; many of its streets bear the names of cosmonauts and space scientists. Later, my path took me west — first to Dublin, and eventually to Berlin, where I now live near Ostbahnhof. The name OST ARTEFACTS itself is a hidden cipher of my own geography, a thread connecting the places that shaped my vision. My background is in tech, but it was my passion for collecting wristwatches that led me to Fordite. One day I came across this material online and couldn't let it go. Fordite is an accidental byproduct of the Detroit automotive industry — during the car paint process, accidently, paint guns layer after layer left car enamel on racks and fixtures. These layers fused into a dense mass baked up to a hundred times. Layer over layer, hardened into a stone that geology could never make. The idea that paint leftovers of all things could produce something this strange and beautiful hit me immediately. I made the decision that I need to work somehow, to utilize this material and share it with people. That’s how the idea evolved and brought me here. The brand's debut collection, SAi_TRi, works with three geometric forms — square, circle, triangle — each one treating the ring as a frame and the Fordite as the canvas inside it. Every piece is cut from a different section of the material, so no two rings hold the same pattern. For me, the ring is not primarily an adornment. It's an object you choose because something in it caught you — because it says something about how you see the world without you having to explain it. It is an object that draws attention, sparks questions, and starts a conversation about who you are. Our rings are exactly conversation starters. People notice it. They ask about it. @ost.artefacts

CUPOLONE it has been over five years since i first saw - and instantly fell in love with - le sibille’s creations. it has been a true pleasure to share their unique and meticulously crafted work over the years. the craftsmanship is beyond extraordinary, as is the house’s devotion to the ancient art of goldsmithing. at the same time, each piece carries its own touch of innovation and, why not, a contemporary spirit. today, iam so very happy to share the story of le sibille, narrated by the brand’s creative director, francesca. this remarkable trio never ceases to amaze me, and i am truly proud to be in touch with them and to celebrate their exceptional work. LE SIBILLE LE SIBILLE was born in Rome and is internationally recognized for its unique work with Roman micromosaic, an ancient artisanal technique made of tiny glass tesserae assembled one by one by hand. This remains the soul of our atelier and one of the rarest artistic expressions in contemporary jewelry. But over the years our world has expanded into multiple collections and creative languages, each one exploring different materials, symbols, and forms of craftsmanship. What truly defines our work is not only a specific technique, but an approach to matter itself. We believe the role of the artisan jeweler is to transform material — whatever it may be — into something meaningful. Gold, enamel, mosaic, silver, coral, stones, or unexpected surfaces become emotional objects through human hands, intuition, and time. For us, craftsmanship is an act of transformation: giving soul, memory, and energy to materials that otherwise would remain silent. Inside our atelier, experimentation and tradition coexist continuously. Every piece is created with love, patience, and deep attention to detail. We believe this is the true formula behind beauty and lasting value: when an object carries intention, care, and humanity, people can feel it immediately. In a world dominated by industrial perfection and speed, we continue to defend the emotional power of handmade creation.

ISFJELL RING i have been sharing capucine's outstanding work since the very beginning of my page, back in 2020. over the years, i have had the pleasure of following the remarkable evolution of her practice. she is not simply a jeweler; she is the complete package, carrying out her own research, design, drawings, and benchwork with exceptional dedication and skill. over time, we have spoken about life, travel, cats (she is a fellow cat mama, just like me), the importance of raising awareness about our environment, and, of course, rings. every award and accolade she has received has been richly deserved, and i have no doubt there are many more to come. her work is impeccable, thoughtful, and she brings to life deeply meaningful jewelry that not only captivates but also spark conversation and makes a difference. it is a true pleasure to share her story today. CAPUCINE HUGUET I am a French jewelry designer, and my work moves between science, art, and craftsmanship. My collections are like living archives of the natural world. To develop them, I conduct field research: I meet with scientists and travel to extreme places, from the North Pole to the tropical rainforest, to better understand the topics and stories I want to convey through my jewelry. From the glacial tension of my early work to the sensuality and richness of the rainforest, my aesthetic keeps evolving, but it remains rooted in deep observation and driven by curiosity. My pieces carry nature's complexity, energy, and the hidden intelligence of the living world. Each jewel tells a very specific story, whether it's about photosynthesis by plankton, Costa Rican leaf-cutter ants, or the different states of a melting iceberg. I'm drawn to creating one-of-a-kind pieces with a distinctive style, where meaning and craftsmanship carry equal weight.That craftsmanship runs through everything I make. I studied jewelry making for four years in Paris (HEJ School, with internships at Cartier and Van Cleef & Arpels), then completed an MA in Design at Central Saint Martins in London, where I first developed my ambition to use my art as a way to highlight the beauty of nature and the urgent need to protect it. This dual training lets me be both designer and jeweler: I work myself on all my prototypes and ideas, in my studio in Paris, using recycled metals and ethically sourced gemstones. What I enjoy most is the wax-carving process, it's deeply meditative, and there's nothing quite like watching a block of wax turn into a jewel.This same foundation, technical rigor paired with a scientific curiosity, is what pushes me to explore parametric, futuristic, and highly detailed approaches in my work. I see my creations as wearable works of art, designed for collectors passionate about art, design, and fine craftsmanship, and my ambition is to keep pushing the boundaries of contemporary jewelry design, offering pieces that surprise, intrigue, and inspire awe. In 2021, my first collection, Wahlenbergbreen Mementos, was awarded the Grand Prix du Jury at the Festival de Hyères — a milestone that pushed me to believe in my work and my particular approach. That recognition found an echo last September, when Melanie Grant's new book, The Jewelry Book, was released, spotlighting 300 of the most influential figures in the jewelry world. Being included among them was deeply rewarding, and it positions me clearly as the jewelry artist I aspire to be.
