This morning I read a funny story.
While we “waste away” at home, the penguins were allowed to waddle through the galleries of a museum. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it seems that the Monet didn’t particularly move them, Baroque portraits did. It definitely made my day ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Van Cleef & Arpels

This pair of Eastern Mediterranean gold pennanular

This pair of Eastern Mediterranean gold pennanular earrings composed of hollow spheres alternating with granulated rings was created circa 5th-4th century B.C.

A penannular in plain as well as more elaborated version was a common form in ancient jewelry. A round shape which didn’t quite describe a full circle was distinctive in Egypt, Persia, Central Asia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it is the answer for a #jewelsquiz

Other earrings are ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Pair of Etruscan Revival Gold Pendant-Earclips, circa 1880

What do Meret Oppenheim Fur Bracelet and gold brac

What do Meret Oppenheim Fur Bracelet and gold bracelet of Giovanni Corvaja have in common? I thought...
Absolutely nothing was my answer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meret’s piece is a surrealist work led to the artist’s most famous work which explores female identity and sexuality.
The Giovanni’s bracelet is a unique piece, pursuit of perfection and part of the collection which embodies symbology and magic of gold.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meret’s jewelry is provocative and shocking, Giovanni’s excites your mind.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Oppenheim bracelet was created transforming domestic “found” objects, the another piece was taken 1300 hours of labour and 28 km of almost invisible self-made gold thread which is one fifth of a human hair.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meret was inspired by dreams, mixed media, unconscious, juxtaposing of fascinating, playful and confusing.
Giovanni is devoted to perfection and technical research, universal beauty and constant journey of improvement.

And after all I found one thing that they have in common: their past and future contribution to the development of jewelry art. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Photos are posted on the principle “ladies first”. :)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Meret Oppenheim. Fur Bracelet, 1936.

Between reality and illusion

Venezuelan artist Jesús Rafael Soto was known for kinetic sculpture and optical installations. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The artist collaborated with GEM of Milan and designed jewelry where his art principles were reduced in a small scale. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ His iconic Penetrables works are composed of metal wires that rain down from above. They create a space where a visitor becomes confused and disoriented without fixed habitual points in space. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Jesús Rafael Soto. Penetrabile, a pair of large earrings, 1967. 800 silver and silver-gilt.

While I was preparing this compilation, I accidentally posted the piece which has nothing to do with the subject. It’s the second one and on this ring is depicted an ant. But it is also important for our planet 😉
