The collection is a testament to the awe-inspiring beauty that lies within the natural world, and an invitation to discover the hidden wonders that await us in the heart of a secret garden.

Orecchini (Earrings)
Giampaolo Babetto Orecchini, 2023 18kt yellow gold and purple pigment earrings h 4 x 2.5 cm ; h 3.5 x 2.5 cm unique and signed Giampaolo Babetto’s work reflects contemporary art movements such as concrete art, minimal art, kinetic or pop art in a unique, purist and plastic manner. His pieces are immediately recognisable by its simple design. He is inspired by the architecture of his homeland, by Palladio’s villas, and by the geometries in which he finds poetry. His jewellery is innovative in concept. Made up of different abstract elements, broken down into modular units, or rendered moveable through the use of ingenious links, Babetto’s works are like small architectural pieces or small sculptures. Babetto prefers working in gold due to its stable malleability and its warm sheen which he combines with unconventional materials such as plastic or glass, ebony, dusting the internal surface with a velvet-like pigment in luminous primary colours of reds or blues, purple hues or using enamel and age-old niello-based techniques. These materials are used as highlights and contrasts in works of increasingly pure and essential geometrical forms that have come to characterise the Padua School.
Médée
Sophia Vari Médée II, 2022 Ebony with yellow gold and aventurine earrings with post 2 x 2 cm edition of 2 signed and numbered Just like for her sculptural or pictorial work, only the highest materials are used in the making of her jewelry that wisely and graciously combine gold, silver, wood, ebony, leather, root emerald and sapphire among others. Like the sculptures are in a dialogue with the surrounding space, so her jewelries are conceived with the idea to be in relation with the body and activate it. Sophia Vari’s approach to jewelry, came at a time in which the artist’s busy and international schedule wouldn’t allow her time in the studio. To fill the creative gap, Vari began producing mini versions of her monumental sculptures using plasticines. Despite the significantly reduced size, the same attention and preoccupations that permeates her large-scale work were applied to the smaller ones and eventually become at the basis for her jewelry design making her an incredibly versatile and unique artist. “When I create a jewel, I don’tthink about a ‘jewel’ but a ‘sculpture’, putting in all my convictions and strength. It is only later that I adapt the sculpture with technical tools to […]
