Fear to fly? Not for Cristina Ortiz, who has turned the wings into luxury jewelry ♦

How did Cristina Ortiz to grow in the remote island of Tenerife (Canary Islands, Atlantic Ocean) and become a refined fashion designers and jewelry? You must admit that it is rather strange. Yet the first 16 years of Cristina Ortiz were spent between beaches and ocean winds, away from everyone. Then, she recovered: she graduated from the Fashion Institute, Ecole de la Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne, in Paris. From a fashion capital to another: came from Prada in Milan, as design director. Then she worked as creative director of Salvatore Ferragamo, and left his stamp in the women’s division of Brioni, and later in the Maison Lanvin. In a nutshell, a miracle. And now she has a career as a jewelry designer. And they can not be any jewelry. Obvious. Like wings ready to take flight, small gifts to Icarus, but amde with gold (version also black, rhodium) and diamonds. Prices? They are not popular: necklaces from 13.000 euro, from about 5000 ring, earring single from 7500 euro. Here are some pictures and prices. Lavinia Andorno
