Jewelery as Art

by cecylia on August 25, 2010

I don’t think I’ve done a proper post about our jewelery. I’m sure you’ve heard me ramble on about Aris Geldis Paris, he is pretty cool. The couture maestro is still designing for Chanel and Givenchy. His pieces are even more beautiful when worn. I was scratching my head about how to display his bracelets because they don’t fit around the busts. From the corner of my eye I saw a big stack of art books we kept on the shop marble coffee table. I will call upon Leonardo da Vinci and the 17th Century French painters for some inspiration.

I found some symmetry for Aris Geldis’ pieces in Da Vinci’s book.

The French paintings provided a beautiful backdrop for these hand-made Mother-of-pearl earrings. My favourites are the top right ones- they’re faces!
