Necklaces Delicate as Rose Petals

Olga Orlova Delicate Necklaces
"Design that creates culture" 

I was recently browsing the famous inspiring quotes about design and found the following: "Design creates culture. Culture shapes values. Values determine the future" by robert L. Peters


"A talent without human culture has no future"

I would say that Olga is that type of designer who not only creates beauty but creates values.

She has an amasingly interesting background. Olga was born in Saint-Petersburg in the family where Russian sewing traditions were deeply respected and cultivated for ages. Being a child she was often taken to art galleries and Russian museums where she could spend hours browsing the collections of famous Russian painters and sewing exhibitions of 14-15 centuries.

Olga was so much inspired by European needlework artists that she decided to take her time and educate herself in all techniques of golden needle embroidery. She was 15 when she started her first embroidery collection.

The next step in her career was beaded art. She worked at the workshop of puppet master Alexandra Dubravina where she learnt how to embroider toys and small puppets. Most of her works were sold to USA distributers of handmade products.

The breaking point in Olga’s career growth was meeting with the purse embroidery collection of Designer Lubov Shuvikova. She dedicated all her time to master the ancient beading tricks of knitted purses and satchels. All purses by Olga Orlova are entirely hand made from the first stich and represent very complex design works.

Now Olga Olrova is famous for her unique handcrafted beaded jewelry. Her collection includes a wide variety of themes and colors: Poppy jewelry with Swarovski crystals, beaded reticules, unforgettable Blue Blowers with beaded lace motive, air-light English Garden Necklace with Swarovski pearls.

As Olga says, "Culture is a state of mind, there is always someone thinking in the same way and there is someone who thinks differently." She is creating for those who shares her interests and admiration of beading art.
Me and Olga will be happy to find  like-minded  jewelry admires who love art that brings values.
