About the Item

Aves Ardea Heavy Ring in Sterling Silver 925 by Elena Najdovska. Dimensions: Available upon request. Ring Size: Available in US sizes 5 to 11.5. Please contact us to specify your desired size. Materials: Sterling silver 925. Sculpted from a phalanx (digit) bone of an Ardea herodias, Great blue heron. Produced in small series and finished by hand in Paris. "My name is Elena Najdovska, I am a self-taught jewelry designer based in Paris, France. Since I was around ten years old, I have been fascinated by dinosaurs, animals, skeletons, anatomy and taxidermy. Collecting bones has been a real passion of mine, but I was always frustrated by the fact that these objects remained static, something I could only admire in my own space. I always wanted to do something with this obsession. While studying graphic design at ECAL in Lausanne, Switzerland, I had a sort of spark. I knew graphic design would not be my path anymore and that I wanted to create objects that could be worn and become part of the body. That is how the Aves collection was born. One of my favorite places in the world is the Galerie de Paléontologie et d’Anatomie Comparée in Paris. I don't know how many times I've been there. Everything fascinates me, from the collections themselves to the wooden cabinets and the handwritten labels. Every time I travel, I have to visit the local natural history museum. Aves is a collection based on bird anatomy. Each piece is crafted from a specific bone, chosen for the unique role it plays within that species. The idea is simple: replacing the bones on the human body where they originally belong. Rings come from finger bones, necklaces from bones situated around the neck and vertebral column, bracelets from wrist bones... It is very important for me that these anatomical relationships remain intact, otherwise the project loses its meaning. For me, Aves is a way of showing the beauty of anatomy differently. These structures are often associated with death, while I see them as incredibly elegant and fascinating. By translating bones into precious objects, the collection offers another way of looking at anatomy beyond osteology or taxidermy. I have always been fascinated by prehistoric, ethnic and ancient Egyptian jewelry. Throughout history, jewelry has often represented animals or incorporated animal remains as trophies. I wanted to approach this relationship differently, not through symbolism alone, but through anatomy itself. By studying, comparing and transforming bones into jewelry, I am able to wear them as extensions of my own skeleton, creating a hybrid body somewhere between human and animal. I like to think of these pieces as a way of transforming myself into a chimera. Ultimately, my goal is to build a comparative study of the animal kingdom through jewelry and create a sort of wearable museum of anatomy. I chose birds as a starting point because Aves means birds in Latin, not only because A is the first letter of the alphabet, but also because I think one of humanity's greatest fantasies has always been to fly."
