Solitary Man

solitary man is an exclusive limited edition jewelry line. each piece is hand made out of finest quality precious metals and is individually engraved with a number. it all started with a simple desire. a desire that, unfortunately, so many of us have. the desire to quit smoking. artist and designer, oleg sharov, just wanted to put down his last cigarette. after many failed attempts in the past, a very smokey new years eve party finally made him put down his last butt. stopping was easy. however, not picking up a cigarette while out, was not. that's when a very simple idea was born. oleg decided to make some kind of reminder to the fact that he no longer smoked. the reminder was of course a cigarette butt. he created the "last cigarette." this silver cigarette butt pendant paid homage to his quitting and finally putting down his last cigarette. as an artist, he was determined to turn his vision into an object. having never worked with metal before, he got a quote from a local jeweler. i
