The Elementa collection by Eugenie Niarchos and her Venyx, now also in the middle of the Aegean ♦ ︎
She come from a dynasty of shipowners, and Eugenie Niarchos obviously loves the sea. As well as the jewels, that is. In mid-July, she opened a boutique of her Maison, Venyx, a name that is a fusion between the words Venus and onyx, in Mykonos (Cyclades Island, Greece), It was also the occasion to present his latest collection, entitled Elementa.
The name has a simple explanation: the designer was inspired by the four elements that in ancient times were thought to be the basis of life: earth, wind, fire and water. Eugenie used a stone to represent each element. In the first part of the Elementa collection, earrings and pendants with the shape of the sun are made of opal and other precious stones. A ring, in particular, Aruna, which inside the central stone is chiseled with a sun. The collection continues with the moon. In short, it is not necessary to follow a logical thread in all of this, but to observe the jewels and judge their shape, which certainly has its character, much appreciated. Several pieces of the collection are sold out. Giulia Netrese
