Discovering the Pink Tourmaline on the Set of Afrodis by Riccardo Vitale
The architectures of light of pink tourmaline on the photographic set of “Objects of Desire from the Depths,” for a signature shot that captures the power of a unique gemstone
We step inside the photographic project by Alberto Carlo Macchi for the April issue of VO+ Magazine, titled “Objects of Desire from the Depths.” Conceived to immortalize the beauty of the most sought-after gemstones of the moment, the editorial explores their expressive intensity through the camera lens. For Afrodis by Riccardo Vitale, the lens focuses on the Semicupola ring, which showcases a cabochon pink tourmaline with a cat’s eye effect, an optical phenomenon that traces a sharp line of light across the stone’s surface. This visual narrative bears witness to the brand’s vocation for enhancing a gemstone's rarity, succeeding in preserving its ancestral beauty.
