The Bronze Age
Spiritual, sculptural, baroque and surreal. The dreamlike and mysterious overabundance of necklaces, rings and bracelets is an ode to metals.
Naples has become the muse for Samuel François, the celebrated fashion stylist and now jewelry designer. Rome is the joyful residence and source of inspiration of artist/collector Joanne Burke from London. Rio de Janeiro is the backdrop for Paola Vilas’ vibrant and unusual silver collections, a manifesto of modern feminism. These are the three creative personalities that have left their mark this season and because of this, we’ve chosen them to represent an unmistakable direction in jewelry design. It’s about the empirical ability to translate one’s world into jewelry, to voluntarily move away from a remote concept of "collection," the ability to skillfully mix the flavor of antiquity and mythology, in an interplay of materials in which bronze and silver triumph. The creative journey these three artists took is what impassioned us. We’re talking about the strength and character of unconventional jewels that have the courage to ignore fads and trends. And because of this, they will become indelible.
