Magic collection called «War and peace» puts on a pedestal the Russian monarchy, combining breathable modern and magnificent classical style. The strongest symbols of Russia, such as Russian nesting doll (Matryoshka), samovars, the two-headed eagle and a full image of Russia itself create unique rhythm of works. Collection «War and peace» was presented in a BBC six-part adaptation of War and Peace by the Russian author Leo Tolstoy. Working in collaboration with the most prestigious cast, the author showed his mark in the art of jewelry and has successfully established himself on the world market.

Luxury earrings with two-headed eagles are a clear symbol of the Russian monarchy. The artist aims to enrich heraldic items with unique style. Axenoff used coat of arms of the Russian Empire which was abolished with the Russian Revolution in 1917 in earrings for Helene Kuragina and created an intriguing look – part grandiose, part provocative. Earrings shaped like two-headed eagles added depth to the tales of Russia.
Earrings with royal details like crowns brought a decadent prettiness to Natacha Rostova.
