L’An tichambre de La Comtesse
Les antichambres ont leurs secrets, comme les cavités de l'esprit. Nouvelle collection de bijoux de Hedone Romane - « L'Antichambre de La Comtesse » – évoque la splendeur et les fastes de l’époque Louis XIV, XV, et XVI. Entrez dans un univers noir et décadent moderne inspiré par le style et l'esthétique de ces temps glorieux de l'histoire française. Bijoux adorés aux feuilles de laurier sculptées, quand les feuilles d'acanthe, se perdent au milieu de volutes asymétriques, et des guirlandes romantiques… discrète séduction… opulente par fois. Contrastes des roses quartz face aux turquoises flamboyantes embellissant boucles d'oreilles et sautoirs. Masques et masquerons montés sur plaque roseor déguisent et conjurent l’indésirable. Dans l'ombre, de l'hématite métallique aux gouttes hypnotiques. Lapis-lazuli raffinés et distingués malachites illuminent avec grâce les conversations les plus privées.
Antechambers have their secrets like the inner recesses of the mind. Hedone Romane’s new jewellery collection presents a darkly romantic interpretation to French decadence. “L’Antichambre de La Comtesse” – throws one back into the pompous days of Louis XIV, XV, and XVI. All handmade, Hedone Romane’s tribute collection to France is composed of pieces made by workshops recognized with the ‘EPV’ label, which stands for ‘Entreprise Patrimoine Vivant’. Enter a decadently modern universe inspired by the rococo style and ornate aesthetics of those glorious times in French history. Opulent courtly jewellery adorned with carved laurel leaves, acanthus foliage, asymmetrical scrolls, and romantic garlands seduce discretely. Contrasting soft rose quartz’s versus flamboyant turquoises embellish earrings and sautoirs. Masks and masquerons set in rose-gold plated disguise and ward off the undesirable. In the shadows, metallic hematite drops quietly hypnotize. Refined lapis lazuli and genteel malachites grace private conversations.
