Galactica Cloisonné Set

Pendant & Earrings

Our Galactica project was inspired by microscopic life of plant cells and the beauty of nebula and galaxy.

The Galactica Cloisonné Set, designed by Dmitriy Polyakov (Dimonus), is a stunning jewelry collection that draws inspiration from the microscopic life of plant cells and the awe-inspiring beauty of nebulae and galaxies. This one-of-a-kind silver set features a pendant and earrings encrusted with rubies, spinels, and sapphires, making it a truly unique and exquisite piece of art.

The Galactica Cloisonné Set stands out from other designs due to its signature Cloisonné technique. The intricate silverwork is meticulously crafted, with fine ribbons of silver wire placed onto an enameled surface and fired in a kiln to hold their position. Thin layers of colored enamel are then packed into each cell using a fine sable brush or special tools, creating a mesmerizing depth and texture. This process is repeated multiple times, with as many as 20 firings, until the enamels reach the top of the wires. The final result is a piece of jewelry that captures the essence of a galaxy in its intricate design.

The pendant measures 6 CM tall, while the earrings are 5 CM tall. Both pieces are made of silver and feature the unique Cloisonné technique, with the addition of rubies, spinels, and sapphires for a touch of elegance and luxury.

Designed by Dmitriy Polyakov and crafted by jeweler Keti Basilashvili, the Galactica Cloisonné Set is a fine and sterling jewelry collection that is not only visually striking but also a testament to the designer's creativity and technical prowess. The set is meant to be worn and cherished, allowing individuals to carry a miniature galaxy close to their hearts.

The Galactica Cloisonné Set was exhibited in August 2014, following its creation in New York in May of the same year. It has since garnered recognition and acclaim, winning the Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2015. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate exceptional creativity, practicality, and innovation, meeting professional and industrial requirements.

With its unique design, exquisite craftsmanship, and recognition in the design industry, the Galactica Cloisonné Set is a testament to the beauty and artistry that can be achieved through the fusion of technology, innovation, and creativity.
