Hello to you and thank you for reading my story.
I was born in Saint-Petersburg Russia, where my ancestors were Russian Aristocrats. This might explain why I always felt as if I lived in a different century and wore royal clothes and magnificent headpieces. Even in my dreams I travel to the places I’ve never seen before.
My high school nickname was “Queen Margo”. The combination of structures, materials and colors always fascinated me, so I decided to pursue an architectural career. After receiving a Master’s Degree from the University of St. Petersburg I worked on many projects in Russia, Israel and later here in the US.
Our story
Creating beauty by designing my own clothes, accessories and jewelry was always the source of joy and pleasure for me.
And then a few years ago, I had a strong reason for inspiration to make elaborate and ornamental tiara. After I got engaged, I could not find a perfect headpiece to wear on my wedding day and I had a long-term dream of wearing a tiara, crown or regal headpiece for this special occasion. So, I literally took matters into my own hands by creating my first headpiece. It took almost 20 different designs until I made the perfect one. And then I was able to sell other creations of my design to many happy brides! Which prompted my decision to use a combination of my experience, taste and design abilities to fashion beautiful items for bridal and any other special occasions.
The original name of the company was Maritahandmade, but I wanted to find a name that would show the connection between my ancestors and crowns.
And the name, Aristokrown, combination of Aristocratic and Crown words, was born.
Along with my husband, very talented artist Robert Holton, we used to in the Artistic Village of Laguna Beach, CA. The town is beautiful, full of creative atmosphere and daily inspiration for new designs. We moved in 2023 to spiritual magical place Sedona AZ and joined artistic community here.
Each morning I wake up with a different project idea and rush to my studio, I’m fortunate to have a view of Red Rocks from my window. I am proud of my passion for making truly whimsical head and jewelry pieces. Not only they’re unique in design but also versatile in materials I use: metals, fabrics, gemstones, pearls, sea glass – the list is endless. Our ART is displayed at Sedona Artist’s Marketplace Gallery and a few other places.
My desire is with every single of my creation to add positive energy to the world.
