Chantecler and the Magic of the Mediterranean
With Tu Sei un’Isola and Capriness, Chantecler opens a new chapter in the Et Voilà collection, transforming matter into a story of identity, craftsmanship, and design
The Et Voilà collection series by Chantecler continues to expand with two new chapters, Tu Sei un’Isola and Capriness. The former is a project born from a collaboration with artist Roberto di Alicudi, a creative dialogue that begins in Capri and reaches the remote corner of Sicily that is Alicudi—an island deeply loved by the Sicilian artist, who has found there a place of the heart and a source of inspiration. From works created on glass come the ideas behind the jewelry series designed by Maria Elena Aprea, creative director of the historic Campanian Maison, whose boutique—located just steps from Capri’s famous “piazzetta”—has welcomed personalities from every era.Among the most iconic pieces is the Et Voilà Tu Sei un’Isola ring in vermeil, diamonds, and composite turquoise, to be paired with a matching pendant and earrings. A narrative and solar parure, illuminated by turquoise that recalls the sky and sea of Capri, in which the sun with a human face is inspired by a work by Roberto di Alicudi. Completing the journey is a chain with irregular, hammered links, where imperfection becomes an aesthetic value and a memory of travel.Capriness, instead, reinterprets the marine chain as a symbol of connection and belonging: in the version with Acquabianca white marble from Garfagnana, the chain transforms into a luminous archipelago, while polished silver offers a more essential and contemporary interpretation. Alongside the chains, a series of rings with lapis, marble, or malachite cabochons dialogues with torchon motifs inspired by nautical ropes and hawsers. Unmissable is the Chantecler rooster, which becomes the protagonist of a band ring marked by a continuous rhythmic pattern—a strong, immediately recognizable graphic sign. Organic volumes, marine references, and craftsmanship inspired by high jewelry are translated into creations designed to be worn every day.
