Newness by Lebole: the jewel cities

The first monument represented in the new collection of jewelry by Lebole, named De Architectura, could only be the Duomo of Milan. A jewel that is a tribute to Expo 2015, consists of a pair of earrings round and asymmetrical: a disk covered with a spotted fabric in the shape of Italy golden metal and the other in the world map of the world with the silhouette of the Milanese cathedral. From here starts the series inspired by the most famous theorist of architecture, ie Virtruvio, and to his treaty from which takes its name the line; then it will be the turn of Rome, with the Colosseum, Venice and then follow all the jewel cities  of the Peninsula. From the dotty quote, a constant in the production by Nicoletta and Barbara Lebole, with fabrics of the  eighteenth-century Bourbon factory and the ancient kimonos of previous collections, to the next level with the use of silver: «It was a choice we have fro make as the positioning up to continue to grow and enter the jewelers who keep only objects in precious metals, no brass or bronze.

They are increasingly, especially in Italy and this is a positive signal», says Barbara Lebole. «So we decided to create collections in silver with our features: asymmetrical earrings repeating one of the historical  most successful motifs, the kimono and the ideogram, that are unique pieces because the silk, applied on the silver through  our patent technique, is always different. In addition, we introduced a variant in white , black and green glossy or matt enamel, all colors of Art Deco from which takes its name this line. Even prices are higher and therefore are between 150 and 200 euro». In short, the idea is simple: better to be the jewel cheaper in a store of fine jewelry rather than more expensive in a shop with a target a bit lower. Here pictures and prices. Monica Battistoni
