Giovanni Raspini, historical brand of Tuscany, is not only a manufacturer of silver objects, from jewelry to home accessories such as the picture frames. It is also an expert on the tradition that has its roots in the history of his region. For this rings, Spring Summer collection which we anticipated here (http://gioiellis.com/quattro-argenti-per-raspini) summarizes not only the philosophy of a silversmith who is no longer just a silversmith. The rings are a conjunction with the Renaissance past, revised under a Pop light. It’s possible? Yes, if you look carefully these silver rings with bright multicolored stones, mounted signet on sight. If you imagine the rings wore by Lorenzo the Magnificent, or by the sweet Beatrice Dante’s… The griffe itself becomes a decorative pattern, since it can take forms even a little ‘extravagant (texture crocodile, shagreen texture, rope, flower, skulls). If you then add the stones green, citrine, turquoise, teal and purple, we’re pretty far from silver and closer to jewel as hybrid between past and present. Rudy Serra
