Since those distant years, vigorously traveling and living in different parts of the world, spinning the globe in the hope of finding, like Nabokov, my daisies and Rachmaninov, my lilacs, I have been looking for jewelers who could bring my dreams and childhood discoveries to life in precious metal. And so in the fall of 2019, at an etiquette brunch in my favorite St. Petersburg Astoria, which I arranged for clients, an elegant lady, the mother of two brothers, regulars of my course, presented me with a silver spoon of "Russian gems" with lilac flowers. My eyes flashed!
And in my life, my full namesake Tatyana Polyakova, the artist of "Russian Gems", who painted my herbarium from memory, also appeared. I also checked the slope of the stems, and the shades, and the proportions according to those Tver happy childhood memories. And, as it turned out, the best, free, beautiful, fragrant and precious memories of a lifetime.
In the summer of 2020, my mother left, who accustomed me to potted non-wilting flowers that were transplanted into gardens and lawns. Shortly before her death, symbolically, my first jewelry herbarium of 25 plants saw the light.
"I remember well how my eye snatched a familiar cornflower from a Dutch still life during one of the obligatory spring passes through the halls of the Leningrad Hermitage during school holidays. Grandma kept fresh cornflowers behind the icon along with rye. As a talisman. Or maybe it was the flocks of cornflowers that saved us, the children running through the fields of rye with the desire to hide and get lost. The cereals were taller than us and we went out to each other's voice. We are not lost. They took place. I remember well that it was with a cornflower that the herbarium of one of my summers began. He was the first to enter the pages of the book set for the summer. And how its petals changed color. I remember it so well that I am excited to guess the shade of the cornflower now, working on the inflorescence and thin leaves with the jewelers of Russian Gems.
