The jewels by Daniel Fantin are like Mother Nature made them: daffodils, edelweiss, violets, periwinkles, jasmine collected in the mountains and valleys of Biella ( northern Italy) and transformed into pendants, earrings and bracelets of translucent ceramic and silver. The pieces, all handmade, so in a limited edition and sold under the brand Madre Natura, born of long experiments with the technique of lost wax with the flower in place of the wax. Then the turning point with the fusion in a centrifuge under vacuum of a large flower. On the other side of the world, in Brazil, there is the jewelry designer Silvia Fumanovich that makes extensive use of the magnificent gems of her country, but also uses the orchid petals crystallized to produce precious earrings (set on gold and diamonds) and that’s why she won the Couture Awards in the category of jewelry innovation (http://gioiellis.com/i-14-vincitori-degli-oscar-del-gioiello/).
