Tina Khmelnitskaya is a Russian art historian and jewelery designer based in St. Petersburg, Russia. While completing her PhD Degree (Dr. Hab. Art History) at the State University of St. Petersburg and further additional education in Russia and Europe, she developed a unique craft technique to create lightweight, tactile jewelery. This technique serves as the basis for Tina’s collections and defines her approach to form an alternative point of view on the boundary between art and design in Russian jewelery making traditions.
