Pearls and filigree: are the style of duo that gave birth to the brand Yvone Christa New York. The designers, after a training in Italy, where they learned the art of working the jewelry with the use of thin metal wires, it moved to the US and now based in Soho, in the Big Apple. So the ancient Venetian filigree technique has moved to the city that is the capital virtual of the world. The thin threads of gold and silver, shaped and welded, are then treated with antique finish. The processing uses 925 silver, burnished or dipped in 22kt gold. The difficulty is knowing how to weld precisely the invisible curls and thin metal wires to create the shape drawn by the designers, offering three collections a year. Jewels are decorated with semiprecious stones (jade, quartz, jasper, citrine, amethyst, tiger’s eye, lapis, turquoise, coral, amazzoniti, carnelian, topaz, onyx, giaietti, zirconia) and pearls, choices accurately because they are inspired to the jewel of the past. Here are the latest creations and prices. G.N.
