Today is the first day of new semester, I am starting my final year of university in London.

Meanwhile on the same Monday in the middle of the day a Russian drone slammed into the Ukraine’s National Academy of Sciences in central Kyiv.

Sunflower seed is one of nature’s most profound symbols of new beginnings. Cast in radiant sterling silver, all Seeds of Change in our collection are delicate pieces that can become a talisman of rebirth.

Maria and Maiia trusted us to accompany them on intimate mother and daughter time. Maria values authenticity and symbolism of our jewellery. Maiia appreciates colours and uniqueness.

We look forward to seeing you in person on September 26th.

Tender moments of connection are paired with meaningful jewellery. Every little detail is telling a story and every symbol is exploring one’s heritage. One-of-a-kind basis is giving a desired feeling of uniqueness; traditional touch is giving somewhat missing feeling of belonging.

26th of September join us for fundraiser to have a chance to purchase unique pieces and help fund ambulance for Ukraine. Details here @uajewelleryua

STILL WE BLOOM! is a fundraising exhibition celebrating the beauty, creativity and resilience of Ukraine through art, craftsmanship and storytelling.

Saturday 26 September, 2-4 pm
Oakland Rise, London NW10 6FJ - nearest tube North Acton or Willesden Junction
Dress code - Floral, Colourful

Inspired by the colours and spirit of a Ukrainian garden, the exhibition aims to celebrate hope, creativity and community while raising vital funds for @uaid.intl Ambulance Appeal.

The event will showcase a 22-piece collection. Each jewellery piece is one-of-a-kind.

Still We Bloom has been created by Natasha Salkey @natashasalkey exclusively in aid of Ukraine.

Guests will be welcomed with complimentary refreshments and canapés on arrival and will be presented with the opportunity to purchase exquisite patisseries designed especially for the event by the patisserie chef Anna Polovynka from @enjoymybakes

And one more special touch: our fantastic photographer and exhibition producer Yana Kozar @yanakozar , will be offering guests who wish to take part the chance to have a beautiful portrait taken.

A Purpose Beyond the Exhibition
At its heart, Still We Bloom supports UAID International’s Ambulance Appeal, helping fund the purchase and delivery of a fully equipped ambulance to Ukraine.

Guests will watch a short documentary following an ambulance’s journey from London to Kyiv and hear from volunteers Jo and Jason, who personally delivered the vehicle.

All proceeds from Natasha Salkey’s jewellery sales will be donated through UAID International.

In addition, there will be an auction featuring original artwork, handcrafted accessories, botanical jewellery and wearable art.

You can find more information on our Instagram page @uajewelleryua 🌸

Це невпинне бажання підкреслювати хто я і звідки. Маленькими щоденними деталями. Носити на собі хоч щось Ukrainian. Мої обереги і сила ✨
⠀
This constant need to carry a little piece of home with me — to show who I am and where I come from through the smallest everyday details. To always have something Ukrainian close to me. My talismans. My strength. ✨
