The Merging Galaxies jewelry collection by Olga Yatskaer is based on three main elements, two of which are made in two different sizes, representing galaxies, planet systems, and planets. The pieces exist in gold/lapis lazuli, gold/jade, silver/onyx and silver/lapis lazuli. Every element has a network-shaped design on the backside, which represents gravitation forces. In this way, the pieces continuously transform themselves while worn, as elements turn. Moreover, optical illusions are created through fine engravements, as if small gemstones were set.

Olga Yatskaer is a new name in the Belgian jewelry design. Her first collection was created in 2016. She launched a company called Queensberg, to produce and promote her creations. Formerly a historian, Olga was always passionate about jewellery. She made her first design sketches already in 1990’s. Many years later, her dream to become a jeweler came true. She studied in Arts et Metiers in Brussels, and took private lessons from renowned European masters. The designer aim of Olga is to create pieces that are beautiful, original and wearable, yet affordable for most people. She crafts her pieces to fit everyday wearing and high class outfits alike.

From the background, Olga is a professional historian and a psychologist. But since she was a little girl, she has always had passion for jewellery. She created her very first jewellery designs while still at high school during the breaks. Around 2003, Olga started with fantasy jewellery as a hobby but soon realised that she wants to take it to the next level. In 2011-2013, Olga studied jewellery making, enameling, modeling and design at the Arts et Metiers school in Brussels, from which she has got a diploma with the greater distinction. And to further excel in the mastership, she took private lessons from Eduard K., the mysterious jewellery virtuoso known by very few as the true author of exquisite masterpieces made for major jewellery houses in Belgium as well as Philippe Bouchez, one of the pioneers of new-age stonesetting in Europe. "The jewelry pieces created by Olga are unique objects of art, born through creative inspirations just like paintings or sculptures. These creations reveal powerful emotions while being full of poetry. Whether it's about the fantasy or luxury jewelry, she creates all pieces by her magic fingers using various materials, shapes and colours. In her new luxury gold and silver jewelry collection, we can discover this subtle touch of her soul, which is what marks the real uniqueness of jewelry creations by Olga."
