Symbols Collection: ADDA gems x Lisa Smirnova

This is already our third collaboration with creatives. This time, it’s not just beautiful packaging — it’s a whole collection of jewelry, created together with graphic artist Liza Smirnova. Warning: you might fall in love with the way she experiments with techniques and meaning.

At the heart of the project are eight symbol-characters: I am, Family, Joy, Nature, Freedom, Power, Love, Creation. Imperfect, radiant, grounded, human-like, dancing, and mysterious. Each of the eight symbols has its own unique shape and carries a meaningful message. You can wear them as an epigraph to the next chapter of your life — or collect them into a message you want to share with the world.

Once the shapes of the Symbols were ready, we felt they deserved to live not only as jewelry — but in other forms too. That’s how the merch with symbolic hieroglyphs was born.

T-shirts

We turned Lisa’s watercolor symbols into prints for T-shirts.

Stickers

The sticker designs were hand-painted in watercolor — each one taken directly from Lisa’s original works. We include them as a gift with every purchase from the collection — a small reminder of the meaning you’ll want to carry with you.

Mini Sculptures

These clay mini-sculptures, handcrafted by Lisa, each carry their own character, shape, color, and meaning — just as true art objects should. Inside, there’s a small hidden opening designed to hold a dried flower or an incense stick.

ADDA gems x Lisa Smirnova — Symbols Collection. Ideas of symbols, their forms and meanings – the artist’s view. We’ve carefully translated Lisa’s original vision into jewelry. Here’s how she describes the symbol-characters herself

An open heart, eyes and ears, the senses of smell and touch — the center and receiver of all meaning. A small dancing figure, grounded and curious. Every feeling and experience finds its place within, becoming a unique part of one’s journey. Each of us is an I am. No two are alike, yet we are all made of the same essence.

It’s roots, support, the past, the future, and knowledge. How many universes had to be born and disappear behind us so that today we could firmly stand on three legs and look ahead! Each of us is part of a vast family, and even in the loneliest moments, this thought can offer strength and support.

A keepsake ring, a sweet donut, and the endless song of the Universe — when you truly listen, even the tallest mountains and deepest seas become playful jokes you can leap over. Joy is never alone — one always brings another. Choose joy, and you’ll never go wrong.

A five-petaled lilac flower eaten for luck, wild jungles, birdsong in the morning, and sunlight shimmering on the water. As if one day, you fell asleep in the forest, knowing the world was completely safe, opened your eyes — and saw a sky full of stars. Nature is indifferent, yet always fair. And remembering this, you’ll never lose your way, even in the darkest woods.

It’s waking up without an alarm, forgetting someone’s middle name, a suitcase without a handle, a sweet surprise, and a one-of-a-kind dance that ends the moment you step on someone’s foot. Every keeper of freedom knows: it’s a parcel sent for free, but to receive it, you must give up everything you have. To be free is to be anything.

An upside-down horseshoe, a well-shaped bicep, and an open fist. It's giving a gentle nickname to a dog that bites no one but you. To be strong is to hold hands with reality, even when its face is frightening — and to be a circle among triangles, a grain of sand in the vastness of everything.

It’s a YES and a choice. To be love means to have no sharp edges, yet to hold everything all at once. Searching for love is foolish; not searching is odd. To be in love is to be an angel with a residency permit in any corner of the Universe. To be loved is to feel someone always watching over you.

A bird in the hand, a crane in the sky, edible clay, honeyed watercolor, and the scent of an old book’s pages. It’s searching for God, finding Him, standing at the end of a long line — and suddenly spotting your old classmate at the front. To create is to ride a bicycle that hasn’t been invented yet, to do what no one asked for, and one day wake up and cancel all Mondays simply because you no longer like their color.
