Flying Rivers

Flying Rivers - limited edition

AMAZÔNIA

We’re entering the heart of the Amazon rainforest, dense of a magical organic world.....on our way we also cross a few groups of human beings, who have remained preciously far away in a slow, simple and delicate time.

Now, looking up, beyond the lianas, the branches and the crowns of trees, we can glimpse or imagine a huge flying carpet made of clouds filled with billions of water droplets that once were inside the trees and with the heat they got rid of them.

These endless expanses are called the "flying rivers".

 

*Limited series

This collection is a special edition: most of the pieces will be numbered.

The reason is that most of the pearls used on the jewels come from a family necklace, so I'm limited on the quantity of pieces I can do.
The idea is to make each jewel a real "one of a kind" piece .

 

 

* You can discover beautiful black and white pictures of this universe in the project "Amazônia" made by the documentary photographer  Sebastião Salgado

ABOS

ABOS

Untold secrets

The ABOS collection was born in March 2020, in the middle of pandemic. Within the four walls of my house, ideas of something from distant origins are born ... something untouched.

And it comes out today, in October 2021, and for a year and a half I lived with it, we went through great loves, quarrels, separations, findings and changes.

It has been a long, difficult, deep story and now that the outlines have been defined, it can be brought to light.

This story of distant origins ... untouched for thousands of years, thanks to the oceans that surround it. So the Australian aborigines, who have been isolated for a long time, have been able to maintain their own primitive history, culture and way of life. Their pillar of life is spirituality, the belief in Dreamtime: the place and time where everything was created.

Through their ceremonies, songs, dances and drawings, they tell and transmit their myths and origins from generation to generation.

Aboriginal paintings represent the tales of the Dreamtime, the stories and secrets of entire Aboriginal tribes. And in order not to make them understood by the white man or by other tribes, they began to cover their drawings with dots, in order to blur the drawing and make their treasures illegible.

So I did the same, to keep the beauty of this turbulent love story of a year and a half, I put dots along its lines, to be able to share with you the jewels that were born of it, but without revealing our secrets.

Single Travelers

Single and not lonely

Sometimes there is no reason to be part of a group,
sometimes it's nice to be born from a passant idea, from the desire to make something new, different.

That's the reason why there are some jewels that are part of any collection...
because sometimes these experiments lead to something I like, something that tells a story that I want to share with others.
