Alice Cicolini's Silk Route Lotus ring in 23.5k gold and Meenakari.
Alice Cicolini
Gold speaks a universal language, reaching across cultures and civilisations, from Egypt to El Dorado, gathering individual and national creative expressions and rich cultural layers along the way. The East, the heritage of gold in Mesopotamia, Greece, Byzantium, India, has always inspired jewellers in the West, but today, with a fresh global perspective, ideas flow along a new dynamic virtual "Silk Route" as designers and goldsmiths seamlessly fuse East and West in contemporary gold jewellery.
British designer Alice Cicolini takes the Silk Route as inspiration for her gold and Meenakari enamelled jewels, handmade in India using traditional Persian enamelling techniques.
