Bvlgari "Monete" Necklace18 ct yellow gold and antique silver coins, Weight 228,3 gram, length 45 cm (17.7 in.). Signed 'BVLGARI'. Courtesy MARJAN STERK FINE ART JEWELLERY at TEFAF Maastrich 2023

An eighteen carat yellow gold curb chain “Monete” necklace with nine antique silver Antoninianus coins.

The Bulgari family has always been collecting antique coins, but only since the middle of the last century they have started using them in jewellery. Original coins from classical antiquity are used; from Greece, Persia and the Roman Empire.

The antique coins are a beautiful combination with the sober and sturdy design of the yellow gold jewellery. Also the coins are a reference to the heritage of the House of Bulgari: it was founded in Rome in 1884 by the Greek Sotiro Bulgari.

Provenance: International collection

 Anna Hu. ANNA HU Enchanted Lily Bangle in 53.92-ct. Peridot, Paris, 2022. Precious metals and stones; H. 7.5 x W. 8 x D. 8 cm (3 x 3.2 x 3.2 in.). Coutrtesy ANNA HU HAUTE JOAILLERIE at TEFAF Maastrich 2023

 

Provenance: This piece of jewel is one of the latest creations by maison ANNA HU HAUTE JOAILLERIE. Hu's celebration of the flower begins with the spectacular 53.92 carat brilliant-cut, olive green, entirely natural peridot, that forms the flower centre. Pulsating with colour and light, it is framed in a corona of red-purplish stamens, their startling realism achieved by sprinkling the enamel, of customised chemical composition, with minute rock crystal shards, giving the powdery matt texture a glowing fluorescence. The petals are set with white gold black rhodium plated gold and mixed with oval and round shaped purple and violet sapphires. The bangle, imagined as the winding flower stem, is crafted in a mix of gold and brass, hand-painted in green enamel to create the aged effect of patinated bronze.

As a classical cellist, , Anna Hu drew on Robert Schumann’s Dichterliebe, Op.48 – III. Die Rose, die Lilie, die Taube, die Sonne. Hu then turned to the master of Chinese flower paintings , Zhang Daqian, (1899-1983), who captured the poetry and realism of flowers through every stage of their development. She also had always admired the traditional Chinese flower paintings, of Yun Shouping (1633-1690), Qing Dynasty poet and artist, particularly the ink painting of the lily in his "Album of Imitating Antiquity". On the other hand, she is also deeply influenced by the distinct details and soft shades of colors found in George Walter Dawson’s Auratum Lilies. All elements of artistry and craftsmanship, inspiration and innovation, come together, seamlessly, in a thrilling, fairy-tale-like contemporary creation, romantic, feminine, painterly, intensely evocative of Anna Hu’s own story, and her gift for storytelling through enchanting jewels.

5.15 carat Natural Vivid Pink Spinel and Fuscia Aluminum RingCourtesy FORMS at TEFAF Maastrich 2023

Characterized by subtle and simple lines, this contemporary ring of avant-garde design, marries rareness with antiquity and modernity. Set with a 5.15 carat vivid pink spinel from the legendary Old Mine in Burma, in a sleek white gold case, encasing a fuscia aluminum frame in matte finish.

FORMS combines the traditional use of gold with the modern finishings of aluminum in a strikingly complementary colour to the exquisite gemstone.

A work of true patience.
