TREND LETTER - ESSENTIAL GOLD
PAGE ONE:
As lustrous, sun-yellow gold becomes the colour, texture and material of the moment, glinting in fashion, interiors and design in general, it's time to celebrate the essence of gold, as atavistic ornament, magical object and status symbol. The appeal of gold, along with its rich softness, luxurious warmth and soulful sensuality, is its elemental nature, its core values, its place at the heart of the story of adornment. Fine jewellery reflects this move towards the essential: Vendorafa's Bulles ring, with its large openwork sphere, of breathtaking lightness and volume; Chimento's lush yellow gold necklace, strung with satin-finished rose gold nuggets.
PAGE TWO:
The celebration of essential gold embraces the current trend towards connoisseurship and exquisite craftsmanship, integrated totally into the very concept of each jewel. Motifs reach back to the very beginnings of both gold and jewellery: as part of its Signs collection, Filk creates designs clustered with graphic, openwork symbols recalling the hieroglyphic markings of the ancient Egyptians, and Marco Bicego Gioielli makes luscious finely etched shells of satin-finished gold, for
its Aruba collection, a reminder of the shell as one of the earliest, magical, most elemental jewels known to man.
