Artisan at work, Cartier, Lola Moser © Michelangelo Foundation, a celebration of artisans and their creations taking place in Venice. The open event unites luxury houses in an exhibition curated by Judith Clark, in a setting that encourages visitors to observe master artisans at work. The design, in its open-plan informality, is reminiscent of Renaissance workshops, where gem-carvers, embroiderers, sculptors and goldsmiths worked on pieces together.
The unique piece, which is at once jewellery and objet d’art, pays tribute to this philosophy. A delicate box in white opal features a flower with hand-carved petals of pink chalcedony that rests on the lid and can be detached and worn as a brooch; the box’s outer curves, meanwhile, are hugged by a diamond bracelet, sprinkled with pink diamonds, that can also be worn around the wrist.Artisan engraver-sculptor Philippe Nicolas brings his years of experience to the delicate process of glyptics.
