Alex Soldier
With his exquisite contemporary and Byzantine-style pieces featuring details so fine that a magnifying glass is required to see them, it’s not surprising Alex Soldier is one of the most innovative jewelry designers of the 21st century.
Born Alexander Soldatov in the Russian city of Perm, nestled in the Ural Mountains, Soldier exhibited a childhood talent for woodcraft, painting miniatures and creating sculptures. However, he regarded his artistic interests as nothing more than a hobby and obtained a master’s degree in computer engineering.
Although he was working as a computer engineer, Soldier’s wife Galina recognized his innate talent for jewelry design and encouraged him to consider a career as a jeweler. In 1981, Galina’s persistence paid off, and Soldier left computer engineering to work as an intern at the most prominent jewelry manufacturing company in the Ural region. His aptitude for artisanal workmanship earned him a promotion as the company’s chief designer in less than a year.
Soldier’s jewelry designs won numerous awards at trade shows throughout Eastern Europe, and his works soon caught the attention of a U.S.-based jewelry manufacturer. In 1991, Soldier moved with his family to the United States, where he worked briefly for the company before striking out on his own.
Soldier is widely known for his masterful metalwork. With his passion for precision and alluring form, he uses a microscope to design his jewelry — he handcrafts fine details and textures with stainless steel instruments on such pieces as drop earrings, cocktail rings and pendant necklaces made with 18-karat gold, platinum and precious gemstones. Today, in the firm’s New York City workshop, the designer and his small staff create elegant pieces such as the gemstone-encrusted Snail ring and the Sunflower series, which is inspired by Vincent Van Gogh’s paintings.
Soldier’s fine jewelry craftsmanship has earned international accolades. He won the Platinum Passion Award in 1998 from Platinum Guild International and a Spectrum honor from the American Gem Trade Association in 2002. Since 2009, he has created the prize statuette for the Princess Grace Award and the Prince Rainier III Award. Celebrities such as Scarlett Johansson, Gwyneth Paltrow and Elizabeth Hurley have worn Alex Soldier jewelry over the years.

- Black Opal 22 Karat Gold Bezel Band Fashion Ring One of a Kind Handmade JewelryBy AB Jewelry NYCLocated in New York, NYCustom listing. One-of-a-kind handmade 21Karat gold fashion band ring. Rich and exotic black opals are bezels set in solid 21k yellow gold creating a bright and interesting conversation piece. We love using opals in our designs. They are full of character with different flashes of color, depending on lighting or a viewing angle. This stunning opal ring can stand on its own or, for more oomph, combines beautifully with other stacking rings on this site. The inspiration for these rings comes from the color and the timelessness of the stones and ancient manual techniques of jewelry making, such as granulation, fusing, metal forming. These techniques were introduced by pre-Classical Sumerian, Mycenaean and Minoan cultures and built upon during Greek Classical and Hellenistic periods when naturalistic forms were introduced. AB Jewelry designs are influenced by the skill and the laborious attention to detail paid by the artisans throughout thousands of years of jewelry design. While inspired by history, these rings are created for a modern style. They are some of the most loved products in our collection. They make a statement without being over the top. Get them for yourself or as a gift for that intelligent sophisticated person in your life. Due to the handmade nature of this item, the ring you receive may be slightly different than the one pictured. The price is for the opal ring only. Can be custom ordered in any size. When ordering please specify your ring size. Each ring is comprised of 7-8 stones. ---21K gold ***I always start out with pure recycled 24k gold. By mixing it with fine silver and copper, I bring it down to 21K concentration. 21K gold provides more durability than 22K but does not take away from a luscious high carat color.
