The author’s DNA is a set of genes of past generations. It is also a way of life — positive and negative emotions, situations, meetings and communication with people who influenced and changed the author’s views and priorities. In addition, it is accumulated knowledge, practical experience, experiments and search for something new, imagination and illusions of the inner and surrounding world, expressed in the material form of the author’s works.
'The production of one piece can take up to 300 working hours.'
In his atelier Stanislav constantly makes experiments looking for new forms and colour combinations of gemstones. The purpose of this process is the creation of jewellery with emotions and character. Every piece is created in a single copy, rarely in a limited edition and is intended for connoisseurs of contemporary jewellery art.
Each jewel goes a long way from idea to realization. The production of one piece can take up to 300 working hours. Moreover, a search for right colour and sizes of stones sometimes takes months. In the process of creation modern technologies and handwork are used. This combination gives a possibility to achieve the highest quality performance.
Coloured gemstones and opals as of today occupy a special place in jewellery from Stanislav Drokin. Giving preference to European facet of the best houses with centuries-old tradition, taking care of the process of creating jewellery, bringing his own creativity, this way the main components of the value of jewellery are formed.
