Traditional Parure
This project revises a traditional Russian jewelry set by combining sustainable technologies with traditional craft techniques. The Russian Traditional Parure features three key elements: a Celebration Tiara, a faux amber neckpiece, and an Ojerelok neckpiece. Ekaterina researched jewelry from the Russian North to revive its crafts and history, incorporating new sustainable methods like creating faux amber from recycled glass. Additionally, she expanded design possibilities and developed a unique method for applying the cloisonne goldsmithing technique directly onto recycled glass.
Traditional Parure Jewelry Set by Ekaterina Korzh has been selected as a creative representation of communication design by the A' Design Award & Competition. Traditional Parure Jewelry Set earned the Iron A' Design Award in Costume and Heritage Wear Design in 2025. The A' Costume and Heritage Wear Design Award is an international, meritocratic, just and fair design accolade that celebrates excellent design of theatrical costumes, fantasy wear, cosplay gowns, historical clothing, kimonos, saris, dashikis, lederhosen, kilts, hanboks and more.
