The capitals based on Paraiba tourmaline, sapphires and diamonds from Andrew Geoghegan.
In architecture, a capital has the function to act as a bridge between the column and beam. Over time, the classical capitals introduced by the ancient Greece (Doric, Ionic and Corinthian) have been imaginatively enriched and transformed, from Romanesque period onwards. This brief summary is to introduce other capitals, the ones that the British designer Andrew Geoghegan has decided to turn into jewelry. Rings for accuracy. The Chapiteau collection is inspired by Baroque architecture, that of Versailles and Louis XIV. These cocktail rings, however, point out something that is not attributable only to the forms of architecture, but above all on color suggestions. The Chapiteau de Paraiba Cocktail Ring, for example, is almost a whimsical collection of stones next to the deep blue of the tourmaline, there is a side of pink sapphires, but the faces of the capital side are with mint green tourmaline, in once framed by a waltz diamond. Certainly a jewel that you cant don’t notice. Giulia Netrese
