The gold collection was inspired by the attire of Beka Jaqeli (XIII-XIV centuries) - the ruling prince of Samtskhe and Mandaturtukhutsesi of the Georgian kingdom. Depicted on the mural of Sapara Monastery, Jaqeli wears a richly decorated red dress, embellished with pearls and a golden-thread embroidery of a cherub, a celestial winged creature. Red and blue cherubim are also present on a silk shirt, which became a great source of inspiration for Zarapxana. By combining with natural stones (coral, turquoise), our team imitated the sophisticated style of the costume into jewelry pieces. It is noteworthy that the shirt was deliberately longer than the dress to showcase the delicate embroidery. Beqa Jaqeli was a prominent political figure who established the book of laws, strengthened the principality of Samtskhe, and made a significant contribution to the protection of the Georgian Kingdom.
