The opposites come together in jewelry in the Yin Yang collection by Mattioli ♦ ︎
Opposites attract, according to an old proverb. It is not always true, at least as regards the relationship of the couple. It is true, however, according to Mattioli, the Turin-based Maison who presented the Yin Yang collection. This is the concept that originated in ancient Chinese philosophy. Yin is black, yang is white: the idea of two opposites that are complementary most likely comes from the observation of the day that turns into night and night that turns into day. But also from opposites like man and woman, cold and warm, negative and positive.
And so this the Yin Yang collection presents rings that intertwine different shapes and surfaces, but united.
The contrast, for example, is that between the smooth surface of the metal and the pavé of diamonds. Or the surface of small white diamonds that contrasts with that of black diamonds, the pink gold intertwined with the same rhodium-plated metal. But also brown diamonds, iolites and tzavoriti. In addition to the rings, the collection includes a bracelet and earrings in rose gold and diamonds, also suspended between the yin world and the yang world, but neither is destined to prevail.
