NEW LUXURY
Luxury, it seems, is having an identity crisis. A vague
centuries-old concept, and one always linked to the story of gold,
has grown into a contemporary global mega-industry, into an entire
universe within our world. Now luxury is in the process of
redefining itself for a new age. Once a social segregator, a sign
of status and elitism, associated with comfort and pleasure, luxury
is now a social integrator, accessible, democratic. Just because
we’re worth it. Like the high-fashion, high
quality gold jewels by companies, like Marco Bicego Gioielli, or
Treeme, from the goldsmiths’ towns of Vicenza
and Arezzo. Abundant and exuberant, luxury today is underlined by
culture, intellect, the passion of craftsmanship, design integrity.
Qualities, just like those of gold, disseminated and intensified,
not diminished, by accessibility. A luxury to enrich our lives.

Gold, the material with soul, rich in meaning, in sense and
sensuality, is an essential ingredient of new luxury. A part of the
story of civilisation, a part of our lives, gold possesses
nobility, yet transcends elitism, to remain, today, always and
forever, indisputably a luxury, a life-enhancing pleasure. The
perception of gold, along with luxury, is changing, too, evolving,
through a new design-driven accessibility, through jewels like
those of Primavera Preziosi, so that it touches our lives, our
minds and hearts, with its heroism and cultural heritage, its
seductive tactility, its colour and light, the artistry and
craftsmanship it inspires in each generation. The living luxury of
gold.
