The Ritz Hotel in Paris, recently renovated, has opened the doors of Place Vendȏme to Suzanne Syz. The designer, during a night in the new concept store reserved to few selected guests, showed the latest creations of her Art Jewels. Born in Zurich, she grew up in Paris, after her apprenticeship in New York, Suzanne Syz has been established in Geneva, when she does not reside in her house in the countryside of Tuscany. But, in reality, she travels a lot. Her unique pieces are very unique, in that they do not look like those of no other and would not even easily replicable. She has her own style, without compromise. In the evening at the Ritz, for example, she presented a titanium ring with a big sapphire cabochon Burmese or, rather, without facets and with a slightly irregular shape. Titanium has been used also for a pair of earrings from the name East meet West, constituted as from so many small fans aligned. Less geometric and more storytelling, instead, the bracelet dedicated to the fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm: consists of carved frogs in chrysophrase, along with diamonds, rubies and garnets that form the leaves of water lilies. The jewel of course awaits the kiss of a princess or a prince who purchases it. Margherita Donato
