riana rocchetta make absolutely amazing jewelry, bijoux hand made of raku fired ceramic, third fire gold on industrial gres clay.
they look gorgeous and very organic, see more here
my last creation is a ring made of gold with a moonstone, one of my favourites stones...
in many cultures, it is regarded as a holy, magical gemstone.
moonstone has been used for centuries, including ancient civilizations. the roman admired moonstone, as they believed it was born from solidified rays of the moon. both the romans and greeks associated this amazing stone with their lunar gods and goddesses.
the brazilian jeweler h.stern is launching a magical jewelry collection in collaboration with the great architect oscar niemeyer to commemorate his 103 years! all inspired on his fantastic drawings.
there is also a beautiful video made for the collection's presentation with music by carlinhos brown and george israel
have a look here.
a must see for all lovers of contemporary jewellery!
