A collection of rings, pendants and bracelets that have in common the reference to classical antiquity, from Egypt and the Greco-Roman inspiration Renaissance for its symmetry and contained geometric shapes. In contrast to this classicism in form, they are pieces full of color with shades such as coral, eggplant, orange, green and purple, blue or burgundy, among others. Shades that play a leading role in the collection. “Thus, in the Cosimo ring, we witness a true delirium when the green tourmaline is mixed with the fired enamel ring, in a studied disorder that highlights both the sugar-loaf cut stone and the green martelé gold,” explain from Grassy.
Lorenzo He confesses that the chromatic inspiration came to him thinking about the gardens of the Renaissance and of Baroquewhere a multitude of colors from different flower species were superimposed on the masses of green.
