Magic collection called «War and peace» puts on a pedestal the Russian monarchy, combining breathable modern and magnificent classical style. The strongest symbols of Russia, such as Russian nesting doll (Matryoshka), samovars, the two-headed eagle and a full image of Russia itself create unique rhythm of works.

Luxury earrings with two-headed eagles are a clear symbol of the Russian monarchy. The artist aims to enrich heraldic items with unique style. Axenoff used coat of arms of the Russian Empire which was abolished with the Russian Revolution in 1917 in earrings for Helene Kuragina and created an intriguing look – part grandiose, part provocative. Earrings shaped like two-headed eagles added depth to the tales of Russia.

Earrings with royal details like crowns brought a decadent prettiness to Natacha Rostova.

The 19-centyry style cameo tiaras and earrings has been given a contemporary twist.
