Discovering Zambian Emeralds on the Set of Zydo Italy
The deepest shades of green on the photographic set of “Objects of Desire from the Depths,” for a signature shot that captures the rarity of extraordinary gemstones
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 Zydo Italy, the lens focuses on an extraordinary necklace featuring three rare Zambian emeralds distinguished by their remarkable “Intense to Vivid Green” saturation. A 5.58-carat emerald is paired with two pear-shaped stones weighing 12.38 and 26.60 carats, framed by GIA-certified diamonds and set in 18-karat white gold. This visual narrative bears witness to the brand’s uncompromising pursuit of excellence, transforming exceptional gemstones into timeless creations that celebrate both rarity and Italian craftsmanship.
