Style Letter Italy - Gold Beacons
GOLD WITHOUT FRONTIERS
PAGE ONE:
Gold Versatiltiy
Versatility – the keynote of the Ugo Cacciari jewellery collection - is a major draw for contemporary lifestyle. “As a world traveller - he says - I have been inspired by different cultures and distant lands. I love the contrast of oriental simplicity mixed with the quirky intellectual European look, renowned for the extravagant and elegant taste. I also pay tribute to the Hollywood greats of the '30's as I create jewellery inspired by that world of glamour, best epitomized by tailored lines and graphic patterns. Mine is a multifaceted collection fuelled by the tradition of fine Made in Italy craftsmanship”.

Gold Beacons
Far too ingenious and inventive, Silvano Bulgari creates unique one-of-a-kind artistic jewellery pieces with a hand that conceives and tames the metal like no other. “I'm fascinated by the visual impact of gold – he says – and more so when it unveils unexpected combinations of materials. Every one-off piece, created with the 'cera persa' (lost wax) technique, is crafted from a varied range of contrasting elements combined in unusual juxtaposition, with remarkable effect. A stimulating source of inspiration is nature, but many of my ideas flash back to past centuries: some are stolen from ancient Egypt, some from the Renaissance era and remodelled for a modern future”.

Gold Bait
Whether Massimo Izzo is designing a squid tentacle or overseeing the decoration of seahorse wings, his sensibility is the same: a Master Jeweller to his finger-tips. A consummate designer, minute and intricate detailing, meticulously and exquisitely crafted. “I take much of my inspiration from the natural world – he says – but my true muse is the sea. The creatures that live in it, the intricate aquatic scenes - together with the grainy, sandy, beige hue of gold in the three colours - weave magic into my creations, designed to heighten glamour and speak the language of style. Mine are precious pieces highlighting the quest of luxury for women who embrace elegance rather than brands”.
