Desert Desire Earrings

Yamile Salomon Earrings Jewelry Friday, 28 August 2026

Desert Desire

There are some characteristics that distinguish these pieces and highlight the influence of graphic design. One is the iconicity of the shapes and the visual effect of three-dimensionality that is achieved, only, through textures and thread patterns. The second is the imperfection of each handmade piece. These geometric shapes assume accuracy but don't have it. Each curve and texture are different. They are imperfect but unique, as in nature, and explore the peculiarity of two worlds – cacti and snakes –making them harmoniously coexist in a system.

The Rose Fountain Jewellery

ONESWEAR Jewellery Jewelry Wednesday, 26 August 2026

The Rose Fountain

The Rose Fountain is a diamond ring inspired by the form of a revolving rose fountain. The design uses a rotary setting technique that places the stones along a curved line that rises like a water column, so the ring can be viewed from all angles. The curved arrangement increases the light return of the stones and makes the central diamond look larger than in a conventional setting. The ring is made of 18-karat white gold and set with diamonds, and a ruby is placed on one side of the ring arm. The ring measures 30 by 15 by 35 millimeters.

Adesse Watch

Jansen Che Watch Jewelry Monday, 24 August 2026

Adesse

Adesse is an ultra-minimalist watch that acts as a memento to enjoy the present. The minimalist approach to becoming 'present' is to remove the unnecessary. Adesse reimagines the traditional analog watch with minimalist principles, and questions what is absolutely necessary to tell the time. Do you really need to see the numerical indicators? The minute hand? The hour hand? Designed through subtraction, traditional watch features are removed. A sculptural piece is carved out of the watch face. The face rotates, covering and deliberately revealing just enough to tell the time.

Front Bracelet

Nardin Sabounchi Bracelet Jewelry Sunday, 23 August 2026

Front

Front is a bracelet collection designed to be understood when viewed from the front. Each bracelet forms a complete circle, and the lines that create the decoration intersect with the outer circle. The decoration is placed inside the band rather than on the outer surface, so the sizing differs from usual standards. Each piece is symmetrical on the vertical axis and asymmetrical on the horizontal axis. The bracelets are produced by three-dimensional design and printing of a wax mold, followed by casting in silver. The result is light and durable for daily use.
