The technical and functional climbing holds are transformed into sculptural jewelry ones, animating a set conceived to emphasize the preciousness of fine jewelry in dialogue with the material. Gold, diamonds and gems embrace the material curves of an unusual instrument, creating an aesthetic as original as it is metaphorical. The jewels, like a climb, tell a journey of precision and creativity, revealing the strength of the human touch.
