The hammered spheres of the Boules collection by Vendorafa: gold with details in diamonds and precious stones ♦ ︎
The sphere is a volume defined as a geometric solid generated by the rotation of a semicircle around its diameter. But this cold definition hides a whole world of symbologies: the sphere resting on the hands of kings and emperors, indicating their power over the world, a symbol of perfection. But also a tool to play, to decorate a Christmas tree and, as all jewelry lovers know, also a perfect volume used for rings, necklaces or bracelets. Now the spheres used by jewelers are joined by the Boules collection by Vendorafa Lombardi, a company active in Valenza since 1951 and specialized in manual processing such as hammering, engraving and embossing. The Boules collection, in fact, is made with hammered gold balls, which recall the effect of blown glass bubbles. To these gold spheres are added details with pavé diamonds, or sapphires, black diamonds and emeralds. The collection consists of bracelets, choker, earrings and rings. Giulia Netrese
