Yvone Christa: the Cult of the Artistic Bijoux
From the best-seller of Frida Kahlo Collection to the oneiric Crescent Moon
Stockholm, Rome, Los Angeles, New York. The parable of Yvonne Clamf and Christina Söderström is registered along this route, over a period of more than 25 years. It was 1991 when these two young Swedish students met at the School of Design in Rome, before flying together in California, and finally in New York and there, to start together this long artistic and entrepreneurial journey, which led them to create the brand Yvone Christa - New York. Their recognizability is strong: at the base of their creative world there is in fact the ancient Venetian art of filigree summarized in a line of artistic bijoux. Thin gold and silver threads are treated with a finish of the past and modeled on exclusive shapes. Among their cult collections, Frida Kahlo, the best-selling line ever, a real tribute to the unique and very personal style of the Mexican painter, a pot pourrì of colors and shapes inspired by the New York of the '40s, the one where its first steps also the Kahlo. Large bohemian earrings, daisies in bloom, inlaid half-moons decorated with cascades of colored stones and pearls.
Instead, exploit the particular nuances of a volcanic stone, water lemuria, and in all its opalescent gradations, and crescent shaped cuts the Crescent Moon Collection.
The New York brand is now famous all over the world for being able to redesign modern jewelry that belong to the goldsmith's history, keeping intact the characteristics of totally handmade production together with the use of the highest quality materials. From the mix of these two ingredients, with the addition of exclusive shapes and designs, are born exclusive collections like this, destined, with its avant-garde retro print, to embroider the face of a woman who knows how to express luxury without ostentatiously.
