ALEXANDRA ALBINI JEWELS
- Excerpt from the book published by Silvana Editoriale 2017 -
Warm coloured yellow gold reminiscent of that found in archeological diggs is worked into soft yet bold organic shapes, there are in fact no sharp or hard edges but all is rounded and curved. These feminine shapes often embrace large baroque pearls or precious gems that are not cut according to conventional standards but are roughly shaped or left in their natural crystal habit. The gems are chosen for the beauty of their colours and for their inclusions, valued because they add a natural authenticity to the stone: after all arent’inclusions nature’s finger print worthy of being celebrated rather than condemned as flaws?
Amanda Triossi jewellery historian, author and curator
