On the border between the object and jewelry

The work is devoted to talismans and amulets or to a jewelry that serves to protect an individual magically. The definition of the amulet came from that time when magic met spiritual needs of man. A person of primitive culture referred to them as a result of his internal necessity or his natural instinct that forced him to take steps to his own defense and to predictions of the future. Amulets were necessary to help raise children, to overcome enemies, as obvious as unseen, and to protect against "evil eye". My main inspiration was nature, so I chose materials based on shape, color and their special characteristics. I mainly relied on myths, fairy tales and legends,that's why these materials were selected. The aim of the work is to increase the value of the jewelry and objects. Keeping rarely used rites, used by our ancestors, the jewelry becomes the amulet and the object becomes the talisman.
