I’m so excited when I found fabulous quotes connected with jewelry.
Usually it’s about diamonds and gemstones but this one is really precious 💗 by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

“A man is like a bit of labrador spar, which has no luster as you turn it in your hand, until you come to a particular angle; then it shows deep and beautiful colors.”

accompanied by 18k yellow gold brooch with caved labradorite by Elizabeth Gage

I think you can imagine what is Scandinavian moder

I think you can imagine what is Scandinavian modernism: simple and geometric forms without the extravagance, undulating shapes, sometimes biomorphic, “democratic” and conscious design. Briefly speaking, of course

Copenhagen jeweller, sculptor and goldsmith Arje Griegs was out of system.

Look at this surreal 20 karat gold pendant with opals, coloured pearls and diamonds created in 1967.
In a texture of a melting gold you can see face outlines... it could be a dream or your imagination is playing with you..
Fascinating by ocean’s beauty he created an amazing rings collection and one of them is this gold ring with facet cut emerald dates 1991-1995.

And for dessert this 20K gold finger featured 120 light-reflecting opals, sapphires, pearls and rubies punctuated by a large opal nail.
Isn’t it “a jewelry crime” against “conscious reducing all” Scandinavian modernism”?! 😉

I discovered Pianosa island. The smallest island of Tuscany with unique landscapes and glimmering Tyrrhenian Sea.
It gives an impression of a ghost island as it’s inhabited by few people.
Previously a maximum security prison as Alcatraz now the island is a protected area with untouched incredible nature and abandoned structures, witnesses of the past.
How beautiful are blue shades of the sea.
I try to immagine them in a jewelry piece... as always 💗

The human hand has been used for centuries as a decorative motif. And jewelry is not an exception. I think it’s one of the most frequent element designs in jewelry.

What a stunning piece is this Medieval gold ring with amethyst and four hands (which is relatively rare): clasped hand on a band and two hands supporting a bowl coronet ornament with conical amethyst dated circa 14th-15th Century AD.

Today I received few DM messages about what was actually this white object in my hand in Stories.

It’s a cuttlefish shell and yes, it’s used in jewelry. There is an ancient casting technique in a cuttlebone mould. After a process the metal has a particular recognizable pattern texture. Nowadays this technique is quite rare.

And yet I would like to show you works of two artists who used it in jewelry. And it looks fantastic, I’d say

One of them is an Italian artist Giò Pomodoro. He amazingly mixed patterns combining clear well-defined almost industrial surfaces with intricate porous trace left by cuttlefish shell.

Another one is a contemporary jeweler Hector Lasso. He created some collections using only this ancient technique. Hector managed to breathe life in it, creating fresh and not boring design.

The first three photos are gold bracelets with gems by Giò Pomodoro
The last three silver rings with precious stones are by Hector Lasso

Today a lot of white, chalky, surfboard-shaped cuttlefishes shells were washed onto the beach.
They are fantastic sea creations with ability to alter their visual appearance, lighting up different parts of their bodies with astonishing colors and texture dynamic patterns on their skin.

As embodiment of their crazy beauty I share with you the gold symbolist Cuttlefish brooch with pearls, ruby and enamel by Wilhelm Lucas con Cranach created circa 1900.

Today ancient minimalist jewelry 💕
And let’s not argue about who invented this design 😉
In a bygone era it was considered craftsmanship because an artisan didn’t actually have all possibilities we have now. Every shape had its significance and symbolism. Various cultures approached “simplicity“ differently.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nowdays it’s called design... hmmm... really?

Every period added a new material, finish, texture which together with a simple form of sphere, square, circle communicate a new message and is surrounded by new meanings, challenging “its predecessor” and constantly updating.
