Lydia Courteille takes you to pre-Columbian America with the Rosa Del Inca ︎ collection ♦
The mysteries of the desert, the suggestions of the jungle and now the charm of pre-Columbian America. Lydia Courteille, one of the most creative, surprising and proactive designers, continues the world tour with her new collection, Rosa Del Inca. It is a journey through Argentina, which offers the opportunity to Lydia Courteille to emphasize the use of local stone, the rhodochrosite, mineral which from the geological point of view is manganese carbonate and which offers a warm pink color, in different shades . Rhodochrosite is the material that characterizes the collection, but the jewels are also made with stones such as sapphires of different colors, black and white diamonds, rubies. This about the stones. But Lydia Courteille is not only a specialist in nuances, in combinations of gems. His collections focus on the design and not the simple technical realization of the ensemble of gold and gems. In the Rosa Del Inca collection, for example, there are icons with ancient pre-Colombian ancestry, as small totems, with figures like those of South American popular iconography. Prices: the high jewelery of Lydia Courteille has pieces really out of the ordinary. This collection goes from 12,000 euros for earrings to 34,000 euros for the necklace.
