Lot Details

Description

Designed as a series of circular zirconium links highlighted with brilliant-cut diamonds, the central link pavé-set with brilliant-cut diamonds, length approximately 430mm, unsigned, partial French assay mark for gold.

Paola Brussino


Paola Brussino's jewels explore the dialogue between light and darkness, between the material and the impalpable, between the depth of black and the purity of white.


Zirconium is a dark, mysterious metal that becomes the stage on which diamonds can shine with their fiery scintillation. Through its black color, zirconium has a magnetic appeal, bringing a contemporary and unexpected aesthetic. Zirconium alludes to an elegance without excess and refers to beauty outside the box.


This necklace is a marriage between technique and artistic vision. As such it is a study of contrasts between its unconventional materials, resulting in an unparalleled feeling of both strength and lightness. This jewel is a small piece of wearable architecture, designed for those who can see beyond the surface.
