The idea of linking a brand to the atmosphere of the Dolce Vita and the Mediterranean lightness comes from a Belgian couple: the designer Laurence Aerens and her husband Thierry Spitaels. In 1997 the two created Bigli, with the aim of bringing a breath of fresh air to the world of jewelry. The style of their jewelry is quite simple, although not overly conventional. Curiously, the Italian name chosen is the furthest away from the Dolce Vita. Indeed, Bigli is the name of a rich and powerful Milanese patrician family during the Renaissance. In fact, in Milan there is still a street that takes the name of Bigli, where the family had built their palace.
But these are details. One of the new collections of the Dutch brand is, instead, Mini Sweety, composed of jewels in the three colors of gold and 50 colors with semi-precious stones such as topaz, tourmaline or mother of pearl, with or without diamonds. The design closely resembles that of the historic Nudo collection by Pomellato.
