Regina is an award winning designer maker of
exquisite enamelled jewels. Her work explores the intricacies of the cellular
world observed through a microscope combined with traditional Armenian
patterns. The jewellery is formed from precious metals with transparent
plique-a-jour enamels, which when lit from behind create the impression of tiny
stained glass windows. The technique of plique–a–jour uses transparent enamels
without metal backing allowing light to intensify the luscious colours used.
Each piece is hand filled with a combination of two to three enamel colours and
fired, a colour alchemy which means no two pieces are exactly the same.
Aradesi Jewellery sells work
through selected galleries and boutiques, trade fairs and exhibitions including
The Goldsmiths’ Fair. Regina
is a graduate of Central St Martins College of Art & Design, where she
first developed her plique-a-jour techniques and has subsequently been recognised
for her skills winning Design and Craftsmanship Awards from The Goldsmiths’ in
2007 and 2008. She is also on the committee of the British Society of
Enamellers. Regina
has painted from an early age and takes inspiration from her Armenian roots, especially
ancient manuscripts and interiors.
