Earrings, necklaces and rings inspired by the Catalan architect Gaüdì in the 1922 collection by Alfieri & St. John ♦ ︎
Barcelona, capital of Catalonia, famous for its rambla, the obligatory promenade of every tourist, the great port, the international atmosphere that is breathed. And also for the architectures of Antoni Gaudì. Suffice it to say that his works are part of the heritage of Humanity sanctioned by UNESCO. Gaudì has an unmistakable style, made of art nouveau that becomes eclectic, unpredictable sculpture, with elusive and elliptical profiles.
The 1922 collection by Alfieri & St. John is dedicated to Gaudì.
Why that number? Simple: it is the date when Gaudì realizes the project of the Park Güell in Barcelona. The jewels of the collection are based on the unusual shapes of benches and monuments of that place. Earrings, necklaces, rings and bracelets of the collection are made of yellow gold with small diamonds and sapphires, rounded in almost spiral shapes. Above all, the jewelry line sometimes takes an unexpected turn, just like the architectures of Antoni Gaüdì. Lavinia Andorno
