The Milky Way seen by Giovanni Raspini: a silver and labradorite collection ♦ ︎
There are five new collections for the winter 2017-2018 by Giovanni Raspini. The florentine company specializing in silver has long taken the road to an ever more imaginative and elaborated jewel-style interpretation, with collections that over time have also added elements other than simple silver. This is the case for one of the winter collections, Via Lattea (Milky Way), with melted pieces with labradorite inserts. The pieces consist of a stream of small spheres of glossy silver on a burnished background, running in a bright set of textures and opalescence. The effect is as a small galaxy that becomes jewel and is, in fact, produced through the use of labradorite, a stone that has fluctuating reflections in colors ranging from gray to pale blue to blue. The silver and labradorite set is particularly successful. The collection consists of two necklaces, two bracelets, two rings and three earrings. Lavinia Andorno
