A mini collection dedicated to the most popular carbonated beverage in the world: Coca Cola. The author is the designer of Milan Bea Bongiasca ♦ ︎
Rice and Coca Cola. It may seem like a not too orthodox combination for good food enthusiasts. But if you talk about jewelery is another talk. Bea Bongiasca began her career with No Rice, No Life, the first jewelery collection that wanted to be a bridge between the Asian heritage and the symbols of Western consumer culture. Two opposing views of luxury: rice, one of the most important resources of Oriental culture and a symbol of life, together with pearls and silver, is synonymous with wealth in Western countries. A few years after the food seen as a symbol, the designer of Milan thought of another emblem of Western life, Coca Cola. And she produced a mini collection sold exclusively at the Rossana Orlandi boutique in Porto Cervo (Sardinia). The beverage bottle thus becomes an ornamental element, but also allusive, along with pink flowers, green leaves and gems. The materials used are silver, but also stones like topaz, carved amethyst.
