One of the craftswomen, whose work is amazing and reduces the size of the wallet, is Yana Raskovalova. Even yesterday, it-girl today is a famous designer and jewelry maestro. Let's see how a girl whose life was filled with the lights of nightclubs suddenly changed her role and became the owner of a sought after brand.
It-girls promote girlfriend products
Jewelry by Yana Raskovalova is popular. It’s not a sin to recall the famous Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence, who appeared at the annual International and most prestigious film award “Oscar” in an amazing white dress. And her neck and neck were decorated with a necklace made by a Russian jeweler. It is noteworthy that the actress received the treasured statuette, and Yana Raskovalova received fame throughout the world.
In addition to the Hollywood star, which appeared on the red carpet in jewelry under the Yana brand, fans of the young jeweler’s creativity include Ksenia Sobchak, Ulyana Kovalenko, Natalya Vodyanova, Veronika Belotserkovskaya and many others.
Student and model
Before the appearance of the first collection of jewelry, the girl had to make her way from the model to the wife of a businessman. St. Petersburg is the place where Yana Raskovalova was born. The biography of the girl begins her story in a fairly wealthy family: her dad is one of the leaders of the organization called "Spetsstroy Russia". In childhood, the baby not only studied at school, but also attended a musical institution in piano. Then she seriously took up the study of art history and the history of the development of design.
As a student, Yana Raskovalova participates in the Miss St. Petersburg contest. The amazing resemblance of the girl with Brigitte Bardot did not go unnoticed, and the bright beauty got the title of "Vice Miss." The girl’s father was in shock. However, she herself was very pleased with the comparison with the French actress.
From Russia to Europe and back
After some time, Yana Raskovalova won the design competition, which was held at the institute, and left for Italy. There she will develop clothes for a major knitwear brand. The beauty of the Russian girl was appreciated also abroad: quite an adult Turkish businessman falls in love with Yana. However, she had already given her heart to Petersburger Vadim.
With a businessman from the northern capital, Yana Raskovalova met at one of the parties. Vadim at first sight fell in love with a bright beauty. Upon her return from Italy, he offered Yana a hand and a heart. And the young people got married. Then, one by one, children appeared: Veronika, Vadim and Vasilisa. The latter was born a few years ago.
The emergence of a jewelry brand
The husband of Yana Raskovalova was the very impulse that encouraged the woman to create her first collection. He initially helped her both materially and, more importantly, mentally.
The first collection of jewelry by Yana was released in November 2011. From that moment on, her products are launched under the Yana brand. The venue was the territory of the Podium Concept Store, located on the Kuznetsk Bridge. The debut collection was dedicated to the youngest daughter of a jeweler - Vasilisa. That is why the whole hall was decorated with large and small vases with field cornflowers.
Materials used by the girl
In almost every jeweler collection there are cameos that are decorated with diamonds and other precious as well as semiprecious stones. This is her peculiar business card. Cameos are made from various materials: precious stones and even shells. These elements adorn rings, pendants and even hairpins. And, of course, all products are strictly exclusive. Each accessory is the result of painstaking handmade work by masters from all over Russia. Currently, the Yana brand has over one hundred young talents from St. Petersburg, Moscow, Yekaterinburg and other cities.
Yana Raskovalova works with many materials: here is the gold of various alloys, and platinum, and precious, and semiprecious stones, and so on. The jewelry master believes that turquoise, sapphires, tourmalines, corals carry no less energy than diamonds. That is why in the collections of Yana you can find jewelry with such elements. It is noteworthy that she plans to soon release a book on the importance of semiprecious stones in order to help clients make choices appropriate to astrology. A mixture of different techniques and a woman’s rich imagination give a stunning result: the jewelry is truly amazing.
