The new collection of Misani inspired by Toyama Bay: gold, leather and diamonds ♦ ︎
Misani, a company born in Milan half a century ago, is known for bringing back the technique of hammered gold, ancient and often forgotten by the goldsmith’s world. But not only: Another work that has ancient origins is the one that combines gold with leather, and is perhaps the first to be used in the history of humanity. The Milanese brand has cultivated these two traditions over time, but does not stop repeating them in new forms, with different collections. This is the case, for example, of the Toyama Bay collection. The name, curiously, is one of the largest bays in Japan, known for the mirages’ phenomenon on the horizon during the winter months, as well as being one of the reproduction sites for a variety of calamari. Probably, however, Misani considered only the first aspect. The collection includes a classic handmade yellow gold ring with diamond pavé, but also leather bracelets with black handmade gold and black diamond pavé elements, in some cases with the addition of semi-precious stones such as quartz citrine.
