Diana Gaikazova is known around town for her handcrafted dainty heart
pendants. But, the Italian-born artist has recently designed a new
daringalmost tribalnecklace line with a European twist that is on
display at her Heart of the Square gallery.I wanted to be more bold,
Gaikazova said on Thursday, Aug. 1, in her Dedham Square studio. Hearts
are very dainty, small scale, and its interesting for me to try
something larger scale for maybe a different kind of womana statement
necklace, something perhaps tribal and eclectic, ethnic.
Gaikazova
designed the new collection after visiting Moscow, where she grew up,
in May.It was growing in me and I knew I wanted to try something
different, combining what I saw with what I like, she said waving her
hands, which were covered in shades of red, green and pink paint. The
same precious stones with rough shapes and large contours around the
neck.
The collection features bold hand-dyed Greek cotton woven
necklaces with strips of linen and bamboo threads accompanied with
Celtic weave, natural Keshi pearls, bronze elements and precious
stones.Im being edgy and thoughtful at the same time and mindful of the
risks that Im taking in colors and shapes, she said. I like deep colors
and its part of my culture for being Russian and Armenian.
One
piece, for example, is a vivid red necklace lined with a thin bronze
chain and topped with several Keshi pearls that nearly look like beach
shells.Gaikazova, however, did not start her career in jewelry. The
renowned artist made her debut in dinnerware. Her pieces are carried in
various high-end stores, including Harrods of London and Saks Fifth
Avenue. They are also in the White House and the Vatican.
All
dinnerware is handmade through a process of firing and cooling using
imported French porcelain paint.Dinnerware was big for me, huge, she
said with a thick Russian accent. I was constantly busy. It was a very
demanding business and a very satisfying business, because Ive seen my
pieces in customers that I would just dream to have.
Gaikazova
designed dinnerware collections for nearly 10 years before she decided
it was time to explore jewelry.Need a compatible parkingassistsystem for
your car? She developed the famous heart pendants collection seven
years ago after her mother passed away.I started with the heart shape
being universal, she explained. Everybody at some point in their lives
would have someone to give a heart to. That was actually very personal
to me when I came up with that.
