Bracelet
Roberto And Haroldo Burle Marx Bracelet, 1970 18kt yellow gold bracelet 74.5 grams 17.8 cm; width: 3.2 cm Unique and signed This exceptional bracelet by the Burle Marx brothers’ is a rare and striking example of their all-gold work—an area of their practice that reveals the full power of their modernist vision. While they are often celebrated for their bold use of Brazil’s richly coloured gemstones, some of their most refined creations were made entirely in gold. This bracelet belongs to that category: sculptural, architectural, and quietly powerful. Crafted in high-karat yellow gold, the piece reflects the brothers’ deep understanding of form, volume, and movement. The metal has been textured and shaped by hand, creating a surface that feels alive—organic yet deliberate. These all-gold jewels are not just adornments; they are miniature sculptures for the body. This sculptural quality becomes even more meaningful when viewed in light of Roberto Burle Marx’s celebrated career as a modernist landscape architect. Internationally renowned for his groundbreaking public spaces, parks, and gardens, Roberto introduced modernist landscape architecture to Brazil and became known as a “modern nature artist.” The same design language that shaped his urban landscapes—rhythmic, organic, and deeply attuned to natural forms—can […]

Lava Cuff
Liliane Lijn Lava Cuff, 2024 Electroformed gold-plated cuff 7 x 2.5 cm Edition 1 of 3 plus 2 AP Lava Cuff, 2024: The Lava Cuff is an electroformed, gold-plated cuff available in an edition of 3, with 2 artist’s proofs. This piece draws inspiration from the flowing textures of lava, creating a tactile and powerful statement that wraps around the wrist like molten rock. Lijn’s artistic approach is deeply rooted in natural forms and elements, drawing inspiration from raw materials—volcanic magma, meteorites, clods of earth, and lunar rocks. These forces are translated into wearable sculptures, crafted from pure electroformed silver in Italy, embodying an organic, almost primordial aesthetic. Each piece reflects humanity’s connection with nature and the cosmos, serving as conceptual explorations of our relationship with the planet. Lijn presents a mesmerising new collection of pendants, and a cuff inspired by the ancient landscapes of Pompeii and the movement of lava. The collection explores fluidity, nature, and the powerful bond between humanity and the natural world. Her visit to Vesuvius and Pompeii ignited a creative vision. “These pieces evoke volcanic or lunar landscapes and even our inner selves. They combine ancient luxury with raw landscapes and cliffs,” she explains. Crafted […]
Colonna
Joy BC Colonna, 2023 18kt yellow Pinton gold, recycled 925 silver bracelet Edition of 5 + 1 AP Unique within the series “Columns and pillars are symbols of strength. Yet this column has been broken into pieces. The pieces have then been re-assembled and held together with gold. This wearable sculpture, which can be adorned as a bracelet, literally it bends. A seemingly rigid form now made flexible. To mend a broken bone that has been shattered in several places, pins are put in place to hold it together, to allow it to heal. This work looks at how so many of the western ideals of democracy have been shattered, bent and broken. It is time to rebuild, mend and heal. Akin to the art of Kintsugi, a Japanese technique of mending fragmented ceramics with gold and urushi lacquer (which I learnt about whilst on a research fellowship in Japan), the fragments of this broken column are held together with gold. This column in particular is Ionic. Ionic columns were sturdy, detailed and ornate, serving both as a work of art and a supportive structure. The Greek architect Vitruvius suggests that Ionic design was brought about by elements of the […]
