Iranian actress Shohreh Aghdashloo and French actress Odile Vuillemin have worn at Monte Carlo Television Awards 2017 the latest creations by Alex Soldier ♦
Alex Soldier was born in the balance between two continents, Europe and Asia, in the region of the Ural mountains, in the city of Perm. This region, he says, is known for its abundant natural resources such as gold. According to a Russian folk tale, in these mountains once lived a craftsman Russian named Danila, who spent seven years to carve a flower malachite, a form perfect. The result turned out to be a masterpiece: the flower seemed to have its own soul, even though it was made of stone. This legend served as the inspiration for Alex Soldier. When designing jewelry, tells, Soldier strives to create works of art in miniature. And to think that before embracing art and turn it into a career, the designer has followed a master’s degree in computer engineering. In 1981 he changed the life of Alex: in just six months was promoted to chief designer of the largest plant of jewelry in the Ural region. His innovative ideas have won numerous awards at many trade fairs in Eastern Europe. But it’s since 1990, when he arrived in the US, which began to work independently, with new methods of design and production of jewelry. He won a lot of international awards. But, above all, it was claimed by combining creativity with a deep knowledge of precious metals, which allowed him to realize celebrated pieces. Many of the pieces of Soldier became prizes awarded to distinguished artists, such as Triumph, granted each year to writers and Russian musicians. A curiosity: a special gift is gone, in the past, the Italian poet Tonino Guerra. It is called Dancing Man.
Many of his jewelry adopted a variety of colored gems and pavé. It also uses colored gems faceted or cabochon. In some cases the jewel is designed so that the structure of metal under the gem can be seen through the stone, in transparency. Here are some examples of his work. Matilde de Bounvilles
