About the entire collection: Video below.
"Venusia" is a variant of the name Venus, goddess of beauty. She recalls the close relationship between people and body adornments, in which beauty itself becomes an element of "shielding and protection". This relationship has always existed and is connected to religions, rituals and the aesthetic taste of the individual. The decoration achieved through a sequence of dots industrially reinterprets one of the oldest and most fascinating goldsmithing techniques, Etruscan Granulation. This refined process involved soldering minuscule beads of gold or silver onto a metal plate. Thanks to the rich interplay with light, the jewel becomes a kind of luminous skin: the jewellery becomes almost magical objects". ◆ Elena Salmistraro
