NOW THE DEEP-SEA WORLD IS ALL AROUND US by Beatrice Galbiati
The sea is an increasingly popular topic of conversation, as we discuss who’s taking on the challenges it presents, plunging into it, sailing it – or wearing it. It often appears in these pages as an inspiration for the jewels we choose to display, because it evokes an almost endless series of responses. Here, five brilliant, eclectic jewels speak of its depths, its flora and fauna. These precious objects are to be worn with a mix of irony and confidence, even better if they accompany simple, minimal outfits, with nothing to detract from their sparkling appeal. But most of all, if people can now wear sandals for a walk in the snow, who’s to say that a lobster cannot be worn at any time of the year, especially in the city?
