I have great news for those of you who go crazy for modern, architectural design: Vitae Ascendere is expanding! Not only are they offering a new line, Beolli for Vitae Ascendere, they’re launching retail space inside the SoHo Grand Hotel – the grand opening is today!
I can’t tell you much about their shop, because I haven’t been yet, but I can tell you all about Beolli for Vitae Ascendere! is a line designed by Olga Baranova, a jewelry industry vetran with a unique vision. Olga’s jewelry journey began with an education at the prestigious Stroganov Moscow University of Art. From there, she moved to New York and enjoyed a successful career working for other jewelry designers.
With her new line, Beolli, Olga finally has the chance to create designs that honor her own aesthetic, rather than working to realize other people’s visions.

That feeling of shifted perspective, of the sudden knowledge that you have pre-concieved notion of what rings should look like and maybe everything you know is wrong, is an effect I experienced with many of the Beolli for Vitae Ascendere pieces. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
In nearly 5 years of writing Diamonds in the Library I’ve been lucky enough to see quite a few pieces of jewelry, so discovering something truly out of the ordinary is always a delight.

I had the great pleasure of trying this piece on not too long ago, and it’s even more bewitching in person. It’s chock full of diamonds – and really rather large – but because of the matte metal, it feels much less ostentatious than one might expect. A seriously original cocktail ring.

Here are two pairs of earrings from the line as well. These pieces are a great example of how Olga’s bold, fresh perspective translates to non-ring pieces as well.



What do you think of these Beolli for Vitae Ascendere designs, my dears? Do you find their perspective as refreshing as I do?
If you’re in NYC, do me a favor and go visit Vitae Ascendere at the SoHo Grand Hotel! Their grand opening is TODAY so if you hurry you can see it before I do. Send me a photo?
