HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY BY HANNA LISOVA
MADE IN UKRAINE
JEWELRY CREATION
I make all my jewelry entirely by hands in wax-modelling technique.
It's like creating a sculpture, but very miniature. Most part of work I do using microscope.
Nowadays almost every jeweler works using 3D-modeling: first 3D-artist creates a 3D model of jewelry, then model cut out on a special machine. This greatly simplifies the workflow, but I consciously prefer the manual modeling technique, despite its complexity.
I feel that only by making a jewel with my own hands, I can fill it with soul and life. It's interesting for me to carefully work out every detail of the jewelry by my own.
The manual method of manufacturing allows the master to show virtuosity in the jewelry craft and constantly improve professional skill.
ABOUT ME
My name is Hanna, I create jewelry more then 6 years.
All jewelry you find here created by my own hands without using 3-D technologies. The way it was done by masters before, when there was no technology yet :)
I believe that things created by human hands have a soul. That's way I prefer to make jewelry by my own.
When there were too many orders, my husband Anatoliy joined my business.
Now he do organizational responsibilities so I could devote my time to art and creating of new designs.
WAR IN UKRAINE
Consequences of russian attacks, 2022.
Entire cities were destroyed by russian bombs.
Right now there is a war in my country - russia is once again committing genocide against Ukrainians.
Since 2014, my hometown, Makiivka, has been occupied by russians. I lived under occupation for two years.
Since 2017, I have been living in Kyiv. But on February 24, 2022, russia launched a full-scale invasion.
Only in 2022, russia has fired at our country 5,000 missiles, 3,500 air strikes, and 1,100 drone strikes, killed and tortured TENS OF THOUSANDS of people.
Belarus and Iran are helping russia: some missiles are fired from Belarus, and Iran supplies weapons.
russia is bombing our energy infrastructure. For days, in some cities for weeks, we have been living without electricity, heat, and the Internet.
But this did not stop my work. I continue to create jewelry even in these conditions.
Yes, it is very difficult now. I may not have electricity, water, communication and the Internet, I may not sleep because of nightly shelling.
But I still continue my work, accept orders and work on new projects and send my works anywhere in the world.
We are fighting. And we will win.
I am grateful to everyone who supports Ukraine.
