Irina''s Design???

[mintve]

I found this on one of the vatche''s swan ring links. Its a design by Irnina. Does anyone know if its production elsewhere or just a beautiful creation waiting to be made?

Yes it was designed by our former admin Irina, see the above thread to see the actual ring and how the poster obtained theirs. You can also do a search for the Swan for more threads and information, there are a lot of threads on the Swan in the archives, including on how it got it's name.

I think the swan is actually a bit different. I believe vatche used irina''s design as inpiration. Is that correct???

Here is the swan

Here is the thread where the Swan was named, might help with some details with design inspiration, as Irina herself has posted in it, but I don't know if Irina's original design was a muse for Vatch, however I can see why it was if that was the case!!

I believe vatche did use and modify Irina''s design. I would contact wink jones about having Irina''s original version made. he was the one that helped her contact vatche and worked with both of them on the swan''s development. he''d be your best resource IMO..

Thanks Mrs. S. I just emailed Wink. Irina''s inspiration ring is so pretty!

Here is what Wink said:

"That is now the Vatche Sisley, it is a beautiful piece.

P.S. The Swan bands are slightly curved to allow them to sit flush."


However, I think the actual sisley was modified a bit. I found a few photos of it in some other links. I still like Irina''s original design. Then, when I was looking some more, the original desgin looks very similar to the lockes solitaire! so pretty! Here is the Lockes:
