Unique Pressed Glass Jewellery Preserves Pieces Of Nature

Dublin-based Russian jeweller designer Stanislava Korobkova veers off the path of creating mainstream jewellery and opts for an organic and natural jewellery pieces. Encasing pressed flowers, leaves, butterfly wings and bits and pieces of nature within a glass pendant, the antique style necklaces highlight the majestic power or mother nature.

Inspired by the delicate floral selection that can be discovered in an Irish garden, the designer dries and then presses them between wedges of glass, with a plain metal frame sealing it. She writes about her handicraft: “I think nature already created amazing and beautiful things. All I should do is make proper frame for them and save this beauty for years.” Her collection can be found in her Etsy shop.
