The gold earrings peppered with diamonds capture the fluid movement of waves, with every curve flowing elegantly into the next. By ROBERTO BRAVO
Geometric vocabulary dominated the recently concluded VO September. Linear, sleek lines, sculptural loops, fluid folds and rhythmic, recurring motifs – all shaped a distinctly modern jewellery language. Crafted in gold and laced with the sparkle of diamonds and flashes of colour, the pieces played with proportion, symmetry and space. Some were pared back to their purest forms; others opened out into intricate frameworks of negative space. The designs embraced a sense of restraint and judicious use of metal—perhaps reflecting the realities of rising metal prices.
