Introducing STUDIO RYBKO: A New Frontier in Canadian Fine Jewellery
In an enticing launch event held in Toronto,
STUDIO RYBKO has made its official debut, promising a refreshing take on Canadian fine jewellery. Founded by Montreal-born designer
Raphaël Ribkoff, the brand intertwines deep emotional narratives with modern craftsmanship to create pieces that are not only visually striking but also rich in symbolism. With a philosophy that elevates jewellery into the realm of sculpture, STUDIO RYBKO aims to redefine the standards of luxury adornments.
A Vision Rooted in Heritage
Raphaël Ribkoff draws inspiration from his father's influential legacy in Canadian fashion, merging traditional values with contemporary aesthetics. The brand thrives on the notion that jewellery should transcend the realms of trend and gender—each piece crafted to endure as a lasting testament to artistic expression.
Central to STUDIO RYBKO’s identity is the mighty
egg motif, a symbol of origin and transformation. Ribkoff emphasizes,
“The egg embodies the concept of continuity, and its form is perfect in its imperfection.” This captivating theme is apparent in the pieces, each designed to convey both a literal and figurative significance attached to beginnings.
The Art of Craftsmanship
The creative process at STUDIO RYBKO begins with observations drawn from nature and architecture, guiding the initial sketches that lead into 3D modeling. Ribkoff collaborates closely with a dedicated team of goldsmiths and artisans to ensure that every aspect—proportions, textures, finishes—reflects meticulous attention to detail. The brand’s design principles include:
- - Emotional Symbolism: Each piece tells a unique story.
- - Masterful Craftsmanship: Combining traditional goldsmithing techniques with innovative methods.
- - Inclusive Luxury: Designs are made to be enjoyed by all genders.
- - Precision: Every element is shaped by a careful and inquisitive approach.
- - Sustainability: Focus on materials and techniques built to last.
The GOOG Collection: A Celebration of Form and Color
The inaugural collection,
GOOG, offers a vibrant interpretation of the egg in an array of organic forms. The collection includes rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets, with prices ranging from $2,000 to $7,200 CAD. Highlighting the brand's sculptural flair and expertise in enamel work, each piece is crafted in Montreal using solid 14K yellow gold or rhodium-plated white gold, paired with premium ceramic-filled enamel. Ribkoff notes,
“Gold provides permanence, while enamel infuses emotion.”
Color plays a significant role in the
GOOG collection, featuring six signature hues:
Robin, Bordeaux, Marigold, Emu, Yolk, and
Shell. These shades evoke feelings of vitality and tranquility, each layer of enamel applied by hand and polished to showcase individuality—no two pieces are identical.
A Future Driven by Exploration
STUDIO RYBKO is poised for continuous evolution, with plans for future collections that revolve around themes of emotion, origin, and clarity of form. The brand promises to further explore color palettes and materials as Ribkoff pushes the boundary between design and symbolic meaning.
In addition to expanding its design universe, STUDIO RYBKO aims to foster a close-knit community by establishing a direct online presence while also exploring selective retail partnerships across Canada and the U.S.
