Inspired by grand looks of Maid-in-Law romantic fantasy feature protagonists, ZARINA jewelry brand designers made an elegant collection in Belle Époque style with baroque pearls which impeccably emphasize and match the aesthetics of the film, allowing to feel like the female lead of this fantastically beautiful story. The collection release is dedicated to the wide release of Maid-in-Law on January 16, 2020.
All jewelry pieces in the collection received their names in honor of Maid-in-Lawcharacters and authors, absorbing their character traits. In particular, the main design element for Stefa earrings is authentic, a bit crude baroque pearls – just as special as the unique and lively nature of the film’s protagonist.
“Baroque pearls are extraordinary works of nature. They mesmerize with their authenticity and uniqueness. In their shapes everyone sees what they wish for: something far from ideal or rare beauty. Please note that such pearl can be the only one like that in the whole world so you can find something close to you, uniquely emphasizing your character and its special features. That is why baroque pearls became the basis of our joint jewelry collection,” said Nadia Zayonchkovska, film producer.
The basis for Maid-in-Lawcapsule collection is the line of three combs and a pendant developed by ZARINA specially for filming. These exquisite objects have marvelously complemented the decorative world of the film and the Golden Age of Austro-Hungarian empire on the brink between the 19th and 20th centuries portrayed in it.
“Love for beauty brings people together. Inspired by the beauty of the age and story from the pages of Felix Austria novel, the basis of Maid-in-Law movie, ZARINA jewelers made adornments for the film characters. This creative challenge led to the emergence of a full capsule collection presented in the range of ZARINA Jewelry House,” said Zarina Netovkina, brand ambassador.
It is worth noting that combining a media product with a jewelry brand is a rather widespread practice in global film industry (James Bond franchise and Swarovski; Tiffany jewelry for TheGreatGatsby, etc.). However, the experience of ZARINA and Maid-in-Law project became the first case of such collaboration on the Ukrainian film market.
The collection includes various pieces of jewelry: several types of earrings, a ring, a choker, a pendant, a carcanet, a bracelet, and several necklaces. You can see their detailed description on ZARINA website if you follow this link.

Synopsis: The story starts in Stanislaviv (currently Ivano-Frankivsk) in the second half of the 19th century. Doctor Anger loses his wife in the fire but manages to rescue two girls: his own daughter Adelya and the daughter of housekeepers Stefania. In a moment of despair, the doctor decides to bring them up together.
25 years pass. The girls have grown up and are still inseparable though Adelya is now married. As for Stefa, she tends to the house and drowns her passion in cooking. But they still don’t understand who they are to each other: sisters and friends or a maid and a mistress. In the kaleidoscope of love and jealousy, double-entendres and secrets the boundary between reality and fiction disappears altogether. Elegant outfits, sophisticated dishes and endless promenades… What will happen when the illusion will start dispelling and reality will come into the foreground instead?
