Branches of Paeonia Lactiflora

The work draws inspiration from the "broken-branch" composition technique in classical Chinese painting—an approach that rejects complexity, capturing only a few delicate stems to express richness through simplicity. This method freezes nature's most vivid moments in time, leaving boundless room for imagination.

 

Inspired by this tradition, Marina translates the Eastern philosophy of "less is beautiful, and simplicity reveals depth" into her jewelry. Through slender floral forms, she reminds us that life's poetry often lies in subtle details, waiting to resonate in unexpected, tender moments.

 

Designed in the shape of a peony branch, the piece features a high-quality cabochon of intense green jadeite as the focal stone, accompanied by pink sapphires and diamonds set in gradual progression to recreate the soft transition of petals, evoking an upward growth of vitality. Additionally, the piece incorporates a convertible setting—worn not only as a brooch but also detached into earrings, a pendant, or a ring—embodying a modern vision of versatile wearability.

Parting in winter

Heights and Flowing Waters

This piece finds its origin in the silent landscape captured within the natural veins of the Jadeite—a miniature world of mountains and streams bestowed by nature itself. The design translates this innate poetry into form, where solidity meets fluidity. It does not merely depict a scene, but captures its rhythm: the enduring stillness of the peaks and the gentle, persistent flow of the water. The result is a piece that moves with a life of its own—a wearable fragment of serene, flowing majesty.
