Albert of Monaco at 18k with Damiani

Not only jewelry, but also sculptures, Damiani has been chosen by Barry X Ball, Californian artist, to create a work in 18-carat solid gold depicting the head of Prince Albert of Monaco. The style of Barry X Ball is a unique cross between technology and tradition. Designs and models with software programs, but his sculptures are inspired by the works of the Renaissance and Baroque, obviously revisited with an intricate system of composition. The collaboration with the Piedmont company lasted a year. The sculpture has been very difficult to achieve: one thousand hours of work have been employed to model about 13 kilograms of gold. The work was delivered directly to the prince by Barry X Ball, Guido Damiani, President of the company, and Christian Rizzetto, master jeweler, who led and actively worked on the project.
