Starting the modern era of jewelry design, Elsa Peretti, whose seminal creations dazzle the eyes of the public, applies the bold, brilliant colors of fall fashion to one of her most stylish shapes: the beautifully contoured lacquer bangle.
Creating sculptural jewelry with a smooth, tactile quality Elsa Peretti fully realized the ultimate elegance in the bangles¡¯ generous size and rich new color scheme. She selects three of fall¡¯s primary hues ¨C pine, persimmon and orchid ¨C capturing both the mood on the runway and the moment when green leaves turn to yellow and autumn twilight fades to deep purple.
Japanese style is the key word of this collection. Urushi (the Japanese word for lacquer); one of many traditional crafts is applied frequently by Elsa Peretti, who explores in her collections. And this time these vivid lacquer shades are achieved through it. The handcrafted bangles are made from Japanese hardwood and require multiple layers of green and orange lacquer, sustainable colors of the craft, or the sumptuous purple created especially for Tiffany. The sleek, sensuous result is then polished, and this creation also applies the hallmarks as usual.
