The collections by Ottaviani Gioielli for the winter 2017-2018 ♦ ︎
Ottaviani, an Italian historical brand for bijoux and jewelery, renews its collections for the winter 2017-2018. Proposed jewels use natural stones such as agate, quartz or amber. But the main aspect is the interpretation of pieces as miniature sculptures. Small teapots, leaves, bells, flowers, jars, birds, cats, children, owls emerge from earrings, rings and pendants. Rhodium-plated metal, in some cases with gilding, makes the surface brilliant. Particularity of the collection is the different treatment of silver 925, treated with a white wax, it is very shiny and of great effect. When it is handled with the process of Electroforming, on the other hand, produces large volume elements and shapes, but at the same time easy to read and easy to wear. In the Balloon collection, the star, the flower or the circular element take a sinuous shapes and lines of great impact and brightness.
The surface of rhodium-plated silver is also proposed scratched, or chiseled with zirconia embossing. Lavinia Andorno
