The recently concluded Vicenzaoro Voice in September spotlighted on malachite, an opaque gemstone that comes in a multitude shades – from light, bright green to deep and dark green, sometimes bordering on black.

The contemporary creations empowered by malachite and supported with diamonds and other gemstones are endearing and desirable.
