“ This High Jewelry collection celebrates a tradition that has always fascinated us ...
The collection is multi-dimensional . It blends the traditions of jewelry and decorative arts – such objects were brought back as souvenirs from the Grand Tour – with the idea of once again discovering and mixing periods and cultures . For that , we followed the trail of our predecessors and chose cities that were renown stops historically . We took inspiration from antique jewelry – Roman , Etruscan , Medieval or Renaissance – marrying it with our own heritage , style and craftsmanship . The result is like a colorful sketchbook that invites to dive into destinations and gemstones .”
