GIOAMENTE JEWELRY
Bruno appreciates the material and the tumbled stones, all unique. And draws its inspiration from a distant past, to create pieces of baroque and renaissance inspiration: pendant and cross manly.
Bruno uses a polymer resin as a base material, and mainly tumbled stones, with a particular affection for quartz (rutilated, smoky, etc.), garnets and green garnets, even if many other stones are used (tourmaline, labradorite, phrenitis…).
From initial drawings, a shape is made in polymer resin, on which the stones are placed. This first form is then heated in the oven for about half an hour. Then it is worked, first with precision tools (grinder, etc.), then with manual tools it is again filed, sanded, polished and primed, in order to receive a finish in gilding wax and gold leaf.
Each piece is entirely handmade, composed of rolled stones and therefore unique. Generally a series of around ten pieces of similar inspiration is produced, but each piece is always unique.
Polymer resin is a lightweight material. A pendant made in this way weighs approximately 6 to 7 times less than a pendant made of metal (bronze or gold), which makes it very pleasant to wear.
This also allows it to be combined with semi-precious stone necklaces, made by Gioia di Vita, while maintaining comfort.
Price range from €80 to €800, for setted neaklace, excluding special orders.
GIOIA DI VITA
Irène takes advantage of trips around the world to collect semi-precious stones, which she then assembles into necklaces or bracelets that are as original as they are poetic.
Unique pieces with stones and pendants collected from all over the world, unique and timeless associations. Each woman finds the composition that fully corresponds to her and highlights it because it is in accordance with her personal vibration.
The necklaces and bracelets are designed and designed with particular attention to colors and shapes. Contrasts or monochromes, the GDV signature is recognizable among all but it is never the same creation which allows them to be collected without monotony!
