The 2017 collection by Alfieri & St.John to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Maison ♦ ︎
It is well known that Alfieri & St.John distinguishes itself from other jewelery brands at least for one aspect: it identifies each collection with a date. The year that distinguishes the different lines, therefore, not only traces the inspiration, but refers to events of the past particularly significant. For the 2017 collection, however, it is somehow an exception. The date, in fact, is a reference to the same Maison, returned to the limelight a few years ago after a period of tarnishing. Alfieri & St.John, born in 1977, has completed its first 40 years. And, like any self-respecting birthday, he celebrated in the way that is most congenial to him. The collection differs a little from the aggressive and futuristic forms of the famous crucifix pendant, which has become a symbol of the house. Rings, bracelets and earrings are made of white gold or rose gold with stones such as topaz, amethysts, smoky quartz, navette cut or cabochon, and diamonds. The elongated oval shape of the navette cut also becomes a repeated motif like a weft for the gold frames. Lavinia Andorno
