This project is the result of the close collaboration of three talented women, representing three different fields of activity, who came together to give birth to an authentic project:

The Renaissance capsule collection is a collaboration with SHIR FINE JEWELRY Shirley Navone& MARIA COSTAKE Maria Costake & RENAISSANCE ART GALLERY Oana Visoiu .

The RENAISSANCE silk collection is a refined mix between botanical illustration and jewelry design, a merge of fine botanical arts and brilliant gemstones (citrine and diamonds) printed on silk.

The RENAISSANCE jewelry collection of gold and diamonds and citrine has as centerpiece a special gemstone, the CITRINE, which resembles the stone of the SUN. It’s a lucky charm, well known to attract property, money and wealth. A lucky stone that every woman should have. It also increases confidence and awakens the solar chakra in people’s life.

SHIR Fine Jewelry, a jewelry Belgian designer from Antwerp – the diamond capital of the world for several centuries, created a collection of gold and citrine specially for this collaboration.

Maria Costake is a botanical artist ( botanical painting floral painting in water color and on special paper ) who entered also the world of the designeri and fashion and created her own silk scarf line , cashier scarves line and is also a graphical and ilustrator having in her portfolio top brands.
