For
almost 30 years Eduard Oganov has produced handcrafted jewelry. His unique
style is achieved without casting, by bending, shaping and soldering high
quality silver, often incorporating gold into one-of-a-kind designs.
Mr.
Oganov came to United States from the former Soviet Union in 1992. In the
Soviet Union, at the beginning of his career, he was interested in
semi-precious stones. At that time in Russia obtaining such stones was
extremely difficult. It was common for Mr. Oganov to take long trips into the
mountains to collect the stones himself. Self-trained, he could recognize the
semi-precious stones in their natural rock formations. At home in his workshop
he would cut, polish and fashion the stones. Parallel to his passion for stones
was his desire to incorporate them into unique jewelry.
His
jewelry style was established in 1983 and became widely known in his homeland.
Beginning with necklaces, rings, earrings and solid - band bracelets, he then
expanded into creating pendants and link bracelets.
Upon
arriving in the United States, Mr. Oganov began making his mark in the Russian
community in New York. Over the years Mr. Oganov has established a solid
returning customer base and now sells privately through a traveling
representative in New York, Boston, Virginia Beach, Denver and Seattle.
Eduard’s daughter, Eugenia, grew up surrounded by many magnificent earth stones and, over time, learned to communicate with them. Today when a jewelry piece is finished or even before it is assembled, Eugenia uses her extra-sensory abilities to work with each stone, enhancing their healing qualities. Each stone has a particular energy or consciousness given to it by the Earth. If that consciousness is amplified, it can have a tremendous positive effect on the physical body and personality.
In all the jewelry pieces Eduard makes, the semi-precious stone’s energy is amplified and anchored by Eugenia through a special energy enhancement process. This allows the jewelry to interact with your physical body and your energy, helping to create health, ease and balance in your life. Each unique design is set in the highest quality of silver or gold, which anchors the medicinal qualities of the jewelry.
