The extraordinary, and rare, jewels by the Russian Maison Tenzo ♦ ︎
Alexander Tenzo is anusual figure in the world of jewelery. He is Russian, he opened his Maison in St. Petersburg in 1996 when he was not yet 30 years old, and specialized in the trading of precious stones and gems: a passion that was born during the visit of ruby mines in Sri Lanka. He loves very much the colors of stones like spinelli, crisoberillo, green garnets, rubellite, alexandrite. His Russian soul leads him to create theatrical jewelery, with strong contrasts, sculptors. Like other great jewelers, Tenzo makes a few pieces and conceives them from the quality and, above all, the character of the stones. This adds fantasy to the design of form, tradition, passion, craft skill that encompasses the very popular enamel technique in Russia, or micro pavé. One of his points of reference is the Russian jeweler, Carl Fabergé. Gold is often twisted, embroidered, sometimes transformed with unparalleled nuances, often to infuse vintage air. In addition to boutique in 7 Rentgena Street in St. Petersburg, his jewels can be found (with some luck) in Switzerland, Heimperg, New York and London. Alessia Mongrando
