Volund, from the Tsars to the Principate

In the Principate of Monaco there is the opportunity to see up close the rare jewels of Volund, a Maison that has its roots in the court of the tsars.
The Principality of Monaco is one of the places on Earth with the highest concentration of wealthy. No wonder, then, that every year there is organized the Top Marques Monaco (20-23 April), an exhibition that brings together different kinds of brands of luxury: from the superboats to the cars top of the range, up to watches and jewelry. Among the latter there is, not surprisingly, a brand for a few, indeed, for less of few: Volund. He is based in Vancouver, Canada. It was founded by Nick Ross who, he says, was born in Russia to parents of Finnish and Swedish origin, and has ancestors who worked as a goldsmiths at the Russian Imperial Court. The stated aim of the small Canadian Maison is to revive the tradition of his family. A kind of tradition also from the point of view of style: jewelry that are unique pieces, with forms that have roots in the past, as lion heads, twisted columns, engraving of metals. “I studied with several European masters, I learned working with the wax carving from a goldsmith Baltic, to sculpt by a Russian master, and digital design by German and Italian experts,” he says. With this behind us, Volund started to produce a few pieces a year, characterized by a refined and laborious work and, not surprisingly, from a price proportional to their scarcity. The exhibition of Monaco is an opportunity to see them up close. Federico Graglia
