She argues, in fact, that sought the perfect harmony of contrasts. The jewels are unique pieces, made using the technique of lost wax casting. On the one hand the metal, bronze or silver, durable and shiny, the other the less robust porcelain.
Bronze, said a presskit, “is a favorite leagues from Miré, among the most ancient and durable, which oxidizes it becomes even more fascinating remembering the old gold tones.” It remains to say who is Renata Manganelli.
