The Earth in the myth told by Magerit with imaginative Gea collection ♦
Some people are not content to draw a precious jewel. There’s people who want to present something different. And there’s people who want to conceive something valuable, different and lso perhaps surprising. But Magerit, a Spanish company founded in 1994 by a team of experienced professionals in the creation and fine jewelry design, does more: it tells a story. It may be that the story of Swan Lake, as in its award-winning collection, or dedicated to the myths of antiquity, as in the case of Gea, the collection presented at Baselworld 2017.
As you can imagine, Gea is a virtuous and dizzying interpretation of the myth linked to the Earth. The origin of creation, of nature, of life. With this background, it was inevitable that the imagination of Spanish designers had no limits. Colors with the choice of stones, an almost baroque in exuberant shapes, flowers, earth and nature are intertwined in showy creations.
Among all, the most important piece is Germina (name derived from the Latin word): represents the figure of a woman born from within a seed. The jewel symbolizes the origin of life and the magic of the moment of creation. It is made of 18-carat gold, diamonds and amethyst. Veris, springtime name in Latin, is instead a set representing the nature and fertility as key elements of continuity and development. The woman and the vegetation merge into a gentle embrace. They used gold, white and green diamonds. Other top piece is Aurea, inspired by the golden spiral that is repeated in nature and guarantees the harmony of all creation: gold, diamonds and sapphires. Genus is instead inspired by the original shape adopted by multiple births in bloom: yellow gold, diamonds and blue topaz. Lavinia Andorno
