Siberian Waltz – FAQs
What makes the Siberian Waltz collection unique?
The Siberian Waltz collection is Gemondo’s signature range of kinetic enamel jewellery. It is characterized by its "dancing" gemstones set within intricate, hand-painted enamel frames. Inspired by Russian architectural motifs and Tsarist luxury, the collection is designed for those seeking jewellery that combines historical storytelling with modern, fluid movement.
How does the "kinetic" movement work in these pieces?
The hallmark of the Siberian Waltz is the kinetic-inspired design. While the gemstones are securely held in precise settings—often classic claws that maximize brilliance and light exposure—the 'movement' is found in the artistry of the piece itself.
Inspired by the fluid rhythm of a dance, each item features hand-painted enamel 'twirls' and intricate geometric patterns that create a dynamic optical illusion. By marrying these rhythmic enamel shapes with gemstones that catch the light from every angle, the collection achieves a sense of fluid, continuous motion that follows the wearer’s every gesture.

What is the significance of the hand-painted enamel?
Enamel is a core element of Gemondo's craftsmanship. In the Siberian Waltz collection, we use a traditional hand-painting technique to apply vibrant, glass-like pigments to the intricate metalwork. This process requires extreme precision and multiple kiln-firings to achieve the deep, lustrous colours that complement the architectural twists and turns of the Russian-inspired designs.
What materials are used in the Siberian Waltz collection?
Every piece is crafted using premium materials to ensure longevity and luxury. We use high-quality 925 Sterling Silver or 9ct Gold, which serves as the canvas for our hand-painted enamel. The collection features a variety of authentic gemstones—including vibrant Garnets, deep Blues, and shimmering Topaz—chosen specifically for their clarity and how they interact with light when in motion.
How should I care for my kinetic enamel jewellery?
Because of the delicate hand-painted finish and the moving parts, we recommend extra care. To maintain the "waltz" of your gemstones, avoid exposing the jewellery to harsh chemicals, perfumes, or ultrasonic cleaners. Simply wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear and store it in its original box to prevent dust from settling in the kinetic joints.
