Diamond Garden: Creating Digital Delights with AI Artist Anastasia Rogozhina

Earlier this year, I came across a post by the incredible AI creator and artist Anastasia Rogozhina, who goes by @ai.castle on Instagram. I reposted one of her images and to say it was well received by my audience is an understatement! Seeing how this fusion of technology and jewellery resonated with all of you, I commissioned Anastasia to create an entirely new series of fantastical, AI-driven shots that transform jewels into floral and botanical motifs. The results, collectively named ‘Diamond Garden’, offer a kind of dreamlike escapism that I think we all need right now. Take a look and consider the incredible feats that artificial intelligence can achieve in empowering creativity and broadening our minds. 

I have always been interested in the intersection between jewellery and art, whether that’s traditional drawing, painting and sculpture or more contemporary forms of digital creation. When I first stumbled upon Anastasia Rogozhina’s work (see her Instagram gallery @ai.castle), I was immediately impressed by her command of light, shade, depth and dimension. All these factors are required to ensure high jewellery is accurately and convincingly rendered in the digital space. Otherwise, the pieces look two-dimensional and lacklustre. Anastasia has built an outstanding portfolio of work thanks to collaborations with global brands, such as Versace and L’Oréal, and coverage in the New York Post, Le Monde, Business of Fashion (BoF), and Business Insider. Plus, if you are engaged with the concept of AI Fashion Week, you may very well have seen Anastasia’s work presented alongside some of the world’s most influential digital creators. 

Today, technology is helping to push the boundaries of jewellery design. AI is becoming a powerful tool for creating new concepts and developing fresh marketing campaigns. Although we’ve been conditioned to be cautious of AI and all it entails, it has the power to expand the limits of what’s possible, reveal new worlds, and introduce new audiences to high jewellery in innovative guises. As my mission is to make more people fall in love with jewellery, I perceive AI as another route to achieving this ambition, one fantastical image at a time.
