In the middle of the brooch there is a rock crystal with pearls over a gold leaf base UNDER the stone. A fantastic transparency game with the viewing angle, from the front the rock crystal you see the peals, but from the side you do not see them anymore, it get's neutral and colorless. The back side is handpainted with a white watercolor. Rays of silver-plated copper connect the central part with pearls. One silver needle on the back helps to wear the brooch.

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
