About the Item
Brooch “Fili nera”, 2021, is a one-of-a-kind contemporary author jewelry by italian artist Gian Luca Bartellone.
Materials: papier-mâché, silver, iron, rock crystal, tourmalines, pearls, gold leaf 22kt.
Great appearance with the lightweight brooch. Hand-painted papier-mâché body with elegant geometric white lines on a black background. The pearls are in line in two gilded leaf hollow. On the lower side there is a rock crystal with rose tourmalines over a gold leaf base UNDER the stone. A fantastic game with the viewing angle, from the front the rock crystal turns rose, but from the side you see it neutral and colorless. The back side is handprinted with a contrast white watercolor. Two steel needles fixed to the structure on the back help to give stability to the brooch worn.
Papier-mâché is extraordinary feather-weight and it has a protective transparent enamel. Please note the care instructions for perfect long-term use.

Bodyfurnitures
Paper: The central element in the creation of extraordinary feather-weight jewelry I started working as a goldsmith in 1979 in Italy and then moved on to designing pieces for a company specialized in exclusive jewelry handcrafted from carefully selected materials such as gold, diamonds and gems. By then paper had already become my favorite material, so my own creations became a combination of the rigorous methods I had been taught previously and paper as an amazingly versatile additional element. Widening my creative horizon was a crucial step for me. Its intrinsic softness and shock resistance make papier-mâché an ideal material for bold creations, as it allows for voluminous shapes and extraordinary lightness.
Paper is a true chameleon: it can be coloured, gilded and treated in wide a variety of ways. This makes it an ideal partner for a number of other materials, such as gold, silver, pearls, tourmalines, emeralds, ruby and other gems in a mixture of shapes and colors that form unique, precious pieces of jewelry. Most of my Bodyfurnitures's jewelry is one-of-a-kind. In a few cases they are very limited editions. Each piece of this italian contemporary jewelry is created with uniqueness in mind. Its design forgoes repeatability and emphasizes singularity. awards
