My name is Daria Kulikova. I’m a jeweler, designer, and founder of the Ars Longa workshop.

I create jewelry as a way to capture memory, meaning, and a quiet kind of power. Each piece I make is a story — sometimes whispered, sometimes luminous — forged in metal and stone.
I don’t believe in universal symbols or mass-market charm. My work is guided by personal mythology: secret messages, totem animals, star maps, the weight of a name. Whether it’s a wedding ring or a pendant made just for you, my goal is to make something lasting — not just in material, but in meaning.
I draw inspiration from the natural world, old books, medieval emblems, forgotten alphabets, and everything that lives between dream and ritual.
I believe jewelry can be a legacy. Not a status object, but a vessel — for protection, for beauty, for memory.
In my workshop, I work slowly, deliberately, and by hand. Sometimes I leave a trace of imperfection, like a fingerprint — to remind you this was made for a real person, not a machine.
If you’re here, maybe you’re looking for something deeper. Not just a ring. A reminder. A quiet force. Something to carry forward.
Let’s make it together.
