Regina Aradesian
All Aradesi Jewellery is designed and handmade by the talented Regina Aradesian. Her work fuses the intricacies of the cellular world observed through a microscope with traditional Armenian patterns. The jewellery is formed from precious metals with transparent plique-a-jour enamels, which when lit from behind create the impression of minature stained glass windows. The technique of plique–a–jour, uses transparent enamels without metal backing, allowing light to intensify the luscious colours used. Each piece is hand filled with a combination of two to three enamel colours and fired, a colour alchemy which means no two pieces are exactly the same. The jewels are decorated with engravings of her Armenian roots, especially ancient manuscripts and interiors. Aradesi Jewellery sells work through selected galleries and boutiques, trade fairs and exhibitions including The Goldsmiths' Fair. Regina is a graduate of Central St Martins College of Art & Design, where she first developed her plique-a-jour techniques and has subsequently been recognised for her skills winning Design and Craftsmanship Awards from The Goldsmiths'. She is also on the committee of the British Society of Enamellers and has been teaching enamelling master classes in Holts Academy of Jewellery.
