Hello, it’s Anastasia and Sophia — twin sisters who believe you can wear your memories, and that jewelry should be as unique as our life experiences.
We were still in high school when this began. Anastasia was studying at art school, sketching leaves and small details from nature. I was busy chasing "A" grades and doing everything by the book.
Our dad, Serhii, loved history and ancient art. One day he discovered the old technique of intaglio — carving images inside stone — and decided to try it in amber. We remember him sitting at the table, testing how light moved beneath the surface. Anastasia started experimenting. The first carvings were uneven. Some pieces cracked. Some were set aside. She changed tools, machines, burrs. She kept going, one day she added color, and more color, and new materials...
Today she carves intricate designs inside beads made of amber and our signature material — Chronicles Crystal. It is an optical polymer crystal known for its clarity and depth, often used in precision lenses and microscopes. Who would think that such tools, even small carving machines, could create miniature art?
Every bead is fully handmade from scratch. We shape the beads, and polish them before Anastasia carves and paints each detail beneath the surface, and finish it with a silver core made in our studio so it can be worn every day.
A few words about me. I, (Sophia), am a girl behind-the-scene. I design our silver and gemstone pieces, shape the ideas behind new collections, photograph every bead, answer every message, create every social media post and share the process as it unfolds.
Our parents, Serhii and Inna, are our constant support and quiet inspiration. Without them, this project would not exist.
Our mission is to let you keep small, meaningful fragments of life. A flower from a garden that no longer blooms, a drawing made by a child, a pet’s face, a story once read before sleep, the colors of a sunset that felt important. Everything is part of your own chronicle. We carve these fragments into charms so they don’t disappear.
The moments that shape our lives are never identical.
To capture something so personal, we have to keep searching for techniques that are just as unique.
Thank you for trusting us with your stories and for supporting our family studio.
