Cloud Ring
Leonid Dementiev Cloud, 2021 18kt yellow gold and freshwater baroque pearl ring 2.8 cm total height 1.5 cm pearl diameter Unique within a series The inspiration for the Cloud pieces is: “The Cloud collection is inspired by the subtle changes of the feathery clouds whilst our jewellery designer Leonid was hiking in the Lake District. “I was mesmerised by the colours and light, and how they had created seamless and weightless shapes in the sky, this inspired me to encapsulate this moment of tranquillity and peace. The pearls have been sourced by myself from a Japanese supplier of pearls. They are exquisite baroque pearls that I handpicked for each ring. Each pearl shapes the ring and determines its overall appearance. 18kt yellow gold is drawn and bent by hand to create a light and strong arch – that technique and style have been inspired by my family heritage”

Tania Pistone Rongorongo, 2021 Homage to Alan Watts 18kt gold with bespoke red enamel ring 1 x 13 cm unique and signed Tania Pistone’s wearable art project for the Elisabetta Cipriani Gallery came to life following the artist’s Rongorongo series, paintings which depict an imaginary alphabet on gold-leaf plates. In her Rongorongo paintings, Pistone creates symbols in a deliberate attempt to reach an ideal alphabet, which addresses our shared, collective human unconscious. A place which she believes has been shaped by the experiences of our ancestors. ‘This project was dedicated to Alan Watts, an English philosopher born in (1915 – 1973). His major contribution was given as a popularizer in the West of Eastern philosophies (Zen). In one of his many monologues, there is the one on: what is love, which I used to engrave the plates (obviously it is fragmented into the various jewels), but the intention is that the message they carry is that.

Untitled
Rebecca Horn Untitled, 2019 22kt yellow gold, silver, and labradorite ring Unique and signed In collaboration with Luisa del Valle, Rebecca Horn’s Untitled (2019) series encapsulates her interest in the talismanic nature of precious stones. After months of research, del Valle sourced rare, labradorite stones, of which have been revered for its protective properties. Horn was enchanted by their bright mirage of colours, creating this project of a unique 22k yellow gold and labradorite set of rings and a necklace. From every angle the wearer moves, each gemstone glows in the light. Wearing these protective talismans as it gleams a spectrum of colours is almost as if wearing the impressionists paintings of the 19th century.
