Leaves and branches silver in the Tree of Life collection by Giovanni Raspini ♦ ︎
The jewels of Giovanni Raspini have silver as their common denominator. Indeed, the white and shiny metal is the absolute starting point for all the collections of the Tuscan brand. It is no exception Tree of Life, collection that evolves from the sign of the tree and its leaves in necklace, pendant, earrings. Alongside the philosophical meaning and inspiration for the world of nature, the small collection of silver pieces has an aesthetic message.
The trees, in fact, have thick branches and the leaves are intertwined with garlands that somehow recall certain Renaissance decorations, those frescoes that in the past were called grotesque and were used to decorate the interiors of the buildings, trying to recreate the natural spaces. In short, these branches and leaves are almost a call that goes beyond the simple contemporary object. It is no coincidence that Giovanni Raspini is often inspired by classical, Renaissance or Baroque art, as evidenced by his exhibition of objects, paintings and sculptures entitled Vanitas Mundi. A invitation for who puts vanity too much at the center of one’s life. And if a jeweler says so … Cosimo Muzzano
