Irina is based in Toronto, her work is a true labor of love. While she once focused on painting and drawing, working in three dimensions became her greatest passion.

She uses gemstones, crystals, and wire to create her one-of-a-kind designs. Her collection is developed through her own specialized wire-wrapping techniques. The process is extremely labor-intensive, but the end result is nothing short of mesmerizing.

Each piece uses wire to highlight and frame every precious gemstone, forming an intricate web of twists and turns that fold in and out of themselves to create an exquisite encasing no machine could ever replicate. Her jewellery is rich in detail and contrast, with a look that is mythical, regal, and fantastical. Wire is a remarkably strong and flexible medium, and in many cases more secure than soldering.
