The Picchiotti work in progress: the best jewelry does not feel the passing time and evolves, as in the Rose collection.
It is often said (a bit too often, in fact) that the class jewelry are timeless. If the definition is too much in many cases, because it is dispensed to collections that will be forgotten in a few years, undoubtedly remains valid for those jewels that are designed and manufactured according to the dictates of the jewelry with a capital ‘G’. This is the case, for example, the Rose collection of Picchiotti, has become a classic of what you can offer the best Italian jewelry. As happens to the paintings of the great painters, it is worth, therefore, to return to dwell on the imaginative quality of these pieces. The Rose Brooch, for example, has been designed and realized in March 1967. The flower consists of a set with 400 brilliant-cut diamonds. Each of the seven petals is made separately and then assembled with artisan virtuosity, while the stem is set with baguette-cut diamonds. After this brooch, Picchiotti proposed rings, earrings and necklaces, always on the same high level. The necklace Rose Tower, for example, has two rows of diamonds and a cascade of asymmetrical oval Burmese rubies, while another version uses an equivalent amount of tsavorites. In 2016 it was added to the pieces of the collection also a pink sapphire ring. And for sure the collection will not end here. Lavinia Andorno
