Lab-grown diamond jeweler Solo for Diamonds just released its first couture collection, Core, in collaboration with fellow Ukrainian company Gasanova, a contemporary ready-to-wear fashion brand.
Contemporary silhouettes abound: a ring that runs the length of the finger, with two bands beneath a row of overlapping coin-shape plates; a scalloped choker-style necklace connected with thin chains, one of which suspends a large diamond; cornucopia-shaped earrings with feathery circular layers that climb up the ear; and a wide bracelet with three rows of floating emerald-cut diamonds (pictured at top).
The collection also includes a headband with built-in earrings that dangle to the jawline. All Core jewelry is made in 14k white or yellow gold with lab-grown diamonds. Several pieces feature more than 15 carats, and its crescent brooch has nearly 28.
Core made its debut at Gasanova’s runway show for its spring/summer 2026 line on Oct. 16 in Kyiv, and is now available on Solo for Diamonds’ website. (All prices are on request.)
“The name Core reflects the idea of returning to the essence, to what truly matters,” says Yuliya Kusher, Solo for Diamonds’ New York–based founder and CEO. “The collection’s central vision is to create a new Ukrainian heritage—one that can be cherished and passed down to future generations. Its design elements draw inspiration from ancient Ukrainian coins, evoking the cultural roots and memories of past generations.”
“Gasanova and I share a similar approach to creating collections—at the heart of everything we do is a woman,” says Kusher. “Strong, confident, self-aware, yet delicate and refined—a woman who is not afraid to express herself, to be bold and authentic. We both believe in the power of bold femininity, in beauty that carries meaning, and in creating objects that stand for something beyond aesthetics.”
“Today’s definition of luxury has shifted. It’s no longer about extravagance but about consciousness and authenticity. True luxury lies in understanding where things come from, how they’re made, and what they represent,” Kusher adds.
“This holiday season, we invite our clients to choose jewelry that carries meaning—pieces that tell a story, connect generations, and shine not only because of the diamond’s brilliance but because of the values behind it.”
