Preview of the new collection of Chantecler, which will be presented in the spring. The new line of jewelry of the Maison born in Capri is called Caleidoscopio. A look at earrings that we publish on this page you will understand why: the jewels are formed by a set of small stones, sapphires and rubies, together with small diamonds set on pink gold. The drawing seems, in fact, what can be observed in a kaleidoscope, wherein the internal mirrors reflect in a symmetrical manner the colored elements that are contained within. A surprising effect, which in this case is also the result of a craftsmanship uncommon. Earrings that we publish are in a shade of red and pink, but other pieces of the collection playing on different shades: all, however, are made to look like what you see in a kaleidoscope. And, perhaps, they reflect the spirit of the island in the Mediterranean Sea that, as unfounded, is a kaleidoscope of cultures. Matilde de Bounvilles
