It is an artist's duty to reflect the times in whi

It is an artist's duty to reflect the times in which we live says Nina Simone.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Her work was radical and revolutionary. She studied classic music piano and worked in jazz clubs. Her innovative interpretations of pop and jazz she called “black classic music” and her voice was complex, full of depth and struggle.
Her songs were influential and protest.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The most famous one is “Mississippi Goddamn” which was written in a response to the 1963 assassination of Civil Rights activist Medgar Evans and the bombing at the Birmingham church. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ One of my favorites is “Feeling Good”. It’s about “enjoying peace and happiness after overcoming adversity” according to writer Jessica Shelton, the sense of today marking “the start of something new”, “new day”, “new life”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀I live abroad, my kids grow up multicultural. I feel shame for this cruelty, hurt and stupidity which people do to one another.
There should be more cultural exchanges and open-mindedness.
It has been done a lot and still a lot more have to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1967. Newport Jazz Festival. Nina Simone playing piano, wearing oversized earrings and white netted jumpsuit

When I saw this installation in the Mudec museum of Milan for the first time, I had a feeling of bitterness and resentment. It speaks better than words.
About 700 bracelets were thrown in a pile in a display case. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s called manillas and represent one of an ancient forms of pre-monetary system that have been widely documented in Africa.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Manillas became known as slave trade money after they were used by Europeans to acquire slaves. A slave cost about 12 to 15 brass manillas in the 1490s but correspondingly less if they were of copper. (Rees, A. 'Manillas'. Coin News, 46-47, April 2000.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lostinjewels

One of the first movies I see with Marlyn Monroe was Some like it hot.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We see Sugar on the stage dancing, singing, conveying joy and inspiration and we know almost nothing about her past: only sketchy information.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Myths and gossip, love and hate, envy and adoration. She was and remains a legend.
And today’s her birthday ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Gold ring with diamonds by @cletomunari Homage to Marilyn Monroe
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend

John Lennon was short sighted and was embarrassed

John Lennon was short sighted and was embarrassed to wear glasses.
In 1966 he was given a pair of round glasses for his role in Richard Lester's film How I Won the War.
Perfectly round lenses and thin wireframes. It became his iconic style, a fashion staple. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us. And the world will live as one.

Today walking in the hills with my family, some of his songs came to my mind.
It was a wonderful day. ❤️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #lostinjewels

Today Fabergé was born. He definitely was a genius... in company management, aesthetic and talent searching.
He had a powerful customer and always satisfied his desires.
He collaborated with really gifted artisans, treated them well and payed.
He never concealed authorship of a jewelry piece if it was deserved.

If you be to Saint Petersburg one day, visit Fabergé museum. It‘s worth it!
Last time I was there two years ago. Hope to come back soon

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

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.
