Olya & Kostiantyn for DEF’s Lovers’ Collection

Love, chemistry, and statement jewelry—Olya & Kostiantyn embody everything the Lovers’ Collection is about. 

Meet Olya & Kostiantyn, a real couple from Ukraine who moved to NYC three years ago. I met them last December at a dance party in Chelsea. After a night of dancing, they were hugging, leaning into each other under the disco ball, completely lost in the moment. That image stayed in my head, and it later inspired the "hugging little figures" earrings and pendant design.

Last month, I messaged Olya on Instagram cus I knew I had to invite this cute couple for this shoot, and they said yes!

For this shoot, Olya and Kostiantyn wore some of my favorite pieces from the collection, including the Lovers Tarot Necklace, the Eros Chain, and the Threesome Ring. Every design in this drop blends romantic symbolism with edgy, unisex jewelry aesthetics, perfect for those who love bold fashion with meaning.

Whether you’re into tarot-inspired jewelry, looking for a meaningful gift for your partner, or just love collecting unique designer jewelry, this collection is for you. Check through the photos and let me know—what’s your favorite piece?
