Nickel-silver beads

The first author beads by Frolov Jewels. The moment when my own form began.

Each bead is made entirely by hand – from the first wax model to the finished metal. No molds, no duplicates. Just a process where a living, imperfect form takes shape through touch, time, and close attention to detail. The ornament isn’t decoration for decoration’s sake — it grows out of the volume itself, plays with light, and slowly reveals itself as the bead moves.

For me, this isn’t just a part of a piece of jewelry, but an object with its own character. The beads can be brought together into a necklace or stand on their own as an accent, but in every case they keep the feeling of something alive, something made by human hands.

The first author beads by Frolov Jewels are now available to order. The beginning of a series. The beginning of a story.
