Samurai and flowers in the new collection The Circle by Lebole Jewelry ♦ ︎
The East seen through the eyes of Barbara Lebole, who together with her mother Nicoletta leads the Tuscan brand, is always wrapped in a mystery, linked to traditions, a bit imaginary. The new collection of popular earrings (28 euros) is called The Circle and is made with flat capsules printed on tinplate, mounted in galvanized brass gold and natural stones. Asymmetry is given by the various images imprinted in the capsule. Here again, Japan is the source of inspiration for Lebole, who among flowers and samurai has repeatedly used the kimono fabric to make earrings. In short, Japan over a century ago, where lay and spiritual traditions were intersected to form austere lifestyle, but where delicacy and discretion were values to be cultivated. And when the sushi had not been invented yet. Other times. Giulia Netrese
