The waters of Venice are reflected in the Aurora Blue collection by Officina Bernardi ♦ ︎
Officina Bernardi is a Venetian jewelry brand with affordable price born in 2007 that has been relaunched and that knows a good success in the United States. The Veneto Region is identified abroad mainly with Venice. And for this Aurora Blue, the last collection of Officina Bernardi, which is part of a goldsmith’s company, the Chrysos of Borso del Grappa (Treviso), is inspired by the city on the water. The collection consists of a few pieces (two necklaces, a bracelet, a ring, a pair of earrings) made of rhodium-plated sterling silver and light blue mother-of-pearl, reminiscent of the sea that bathes Venice, at least when the sun is shining blue sky. But mother-of-pearl, among other things, has been for centuries a material that is part of the goldsmith’s tradition. Prices range between 100 and 300 euros approximately. Margherita Donato
