Roberto Bravo: Jewels as Love Potions

At Roberto Bravo they are always aware of the nature around them. The art and the designs they create from nature’s inspiration is part of their corporate and cultural identity. The brand believes that by mentioning nature’s beauty and magic, they will ensure that future generations will treat the Nature well and become much more sensitive. The latest collection is a tribute to the power of black orchid, a flower, which symbolizes admiration, respect, dignity and royalty. The new jewels from the Black Orchid collection perfectly reproduce the shapes of the flower thanks to the use of gold, precious stones and fired enamel, a beloved technique which has always played an important role in the development of Roberto Bravo’s  pieces: it gives a brilliant effect and glowing coloration. The collection reminds us the charming story of this special flower, which was particularly famous in the Victorian era, when collecting, and discovering orchids reached extraordinarily high levels. At that period, it was a custom to gift exotic and rare flowers to show love and affection. Furthermore, in parts of Europe, orchids were used as a key ingredient in love potions.
