Marco Bicego to Masai

The Masai collection designed by Marco Bicego, white gold or yellow slight spirals with diamonds.

The Masai were a nomadic people active in the highlands around the border between Kenya and Tanzania. We write “were”, with the verb in the past, because now they have also become a collection of Marco Bicego. Everything stems from the fact that in addition to being cattle farmers and, in small part, farmers, the Masai are considered warriors. And when they not go around with their cows, they forge metal rings that they then use as necklaces or bracelets, one over the others. And it was precisely this inspiration the Venetian jeweler, who built the whole collection Masai around the elaboration of the spiral technique, hallmark of the brand. Obviously the measures and forms are not those of ethnic jewelry of the African population, but lightweight pieces with the shape of the spiral trasformed in yellow or white gold, with the addition of pavé diamond-shaped pillow that breaks the surface of the metal. Probably, however, this jewels would been loved also by Masai. Giulia Netrese
