Color is one of the most fascinating forms of expression in both nature and jewelry. In the "Scales of Colors" shoot for the new VO+ issue "Crafted to slow down", photographers Michela Benaglia and Moreno Monti demonstrate this by bringing a brightly colored lizard into direct contact with a selection of jewelry. The energy of a magnificent creature chats with the luminosity of the gems, erasing the distance between natural instinct and creative craftsmanship.
