The Magerit skulls of the Black Essence collection tell a story with their form ♦
Horror enthusiasts, thrill lovers, followers of the transgression: here is a collection specially designed for you. The authors are Magerit’s designers, always on the go. The Spanish brand loves to navigate through myths, fables, fantasies. And this time the desire to astonish goes through Black Essence, jewelery line with a strong personality, which Magerit defines as just melting between classical and avant-garde art. The skull, on the other hand, was proposed also by Damien Hirst, and is appeared in recent years in more than a jewelry showcase.
The Black Essence collection, however, does more: adds a story to skull, because the shape is made up of other figures. The Paraiso pendant, for example, represents the Biblical scene of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. The perfectly sculpted male and female bodies reveal the influences of classical art but are reinterpreted in a contemporary way. The ever-present serpent and apple appear as symbols that evoke the scene of temptation. The Bacanal pendant, on the other hand, recreates a scene of Greek mythology with nymphs and satyrs. Still: The Tentación pendant is a transgressive feminine fashion ode and Openworks has baroque ornaments and a snake as a central motif. Finally, there are also Sabana pendants, with a lion’s skull as a base and a realistic hunting scene, and Amazonas, which reproduces the skull of a crocodile adorned with black diamonds.
