Storia – Parure Santorini

The atmosphere of a unique environment: summer sun and scents, houses with roofs reflecting the blue of the sea, together with its people, welcome and positive, make Santorini an ideal place for a declaration of love. That very emotion inspired and designed this parure, so as to bring back and revive that moment.

Luca asked us to design and embrace the magic of that moment, the emotion in the instant of his declaration to Blanca. Listening to his words describing the event, we have together gradually identified the design, the basic shape and the best materials that evoked the sea, the breeze, the magic of the island and of that instant, which was enclosed and sealed in a set of earrings and necklace. The blue color of the roofs, which is the same blue of the wide sea and of the never-ending sky, has been embedded and locked in precious gems.

Luca asked us to adopt a plain, unsophisticated pattern so as to emphasize Blanca’s natural style and elegance. He desired a parure that Blanca could wear easily and at ease. The sobriety of the shapes is lighted up by precious gems, which combine  natural essence, female tenderness and elegance.
