TUBEROSES Silk Scarf 2024: 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.
MAGNOLIA Silk Scarf 2025: This project is the result of the close collaboration of two talented women, representing two different fields of activity, who came together to give birth to an authentic project made especially to celebrate LIFE- RENAISSANCE, more specific the celebration of 18 years of the life of Ana Maria, Oana Visoiu’s daughter, and of the magnolia plated as a christening gift for her, that now sits in the Gallery’s courtyard.
