Born from the ardent longing for spring, the "Leaf by Leaf, Fresh Dew" collection emerges—a testament to the profound creative exchange and collaborative synergy between us and the acclaimed Italian jewelry artist, Marco Baroni. Together, we have gently encased the delicate first buds, shimmering in the morning light, onto the very tip of your fingers.The inspiration for the Sprouting Green collection comes from nature, during the emergence of new buds on branches as spring brusher the earth. The leaves have yet to fully unfold,presenting a natural curvature with subtle curls.
Artist Marco Baroni was born in Scarperai, Italy in 1956 and began his jewelry making career in 1974, characterized by his free-spirited creativity. In the design of the "Sprouting Green" coflection, the realistic leaf shapes, combined with Baroni's distinctive style, imbue the entire collection with a classical yet natural feel.Chasing Technique (Seta)Devrived from the chasing technique widely used by goldsmiths during the Renai-ssance period, it gradually fell into disuse. Craftsmen use specific carving tools to patiently and precisely layer fine gold threads, resembling silk textures, onto hard precious metals, magically presenting delicate fabric textures.
Crafted in solid 925 sterling silver, this piece features a sophisticated dual-tone gold plating: the silver leaf surface is plated in white gold, while the golden veins are plated in yellow gold. This plating technique ensures exceptional color retention even with prolonged wear. The interplay of warm gold and cool platinum evokes a sunlit sprout awakening, casting a refined, captivating gleam. Under varying light, the metallic inlay refracts a silken silver luster as delicate as raw silk.
THE LEAF RING
The natural extension of the leaf stem wraps around the finger, with the leaf surface conforming to the shape of the finger, with a slight curve, resembling the new leaves of spring, yet to fully unfold, symbolizing new life.
THE LEAF EARRING
Leaves grow from the branches, as if they, sprout from the ears of spring.*These earrings are specially handcrafted with a back clip to better secure the tilted angle of the earrings, subtle curvature to fit different ear shapes.
With reverence for nature, we hand-carve each flowing metallic curve, echoing the playful grace of an unfurling leaf. Encapsulating the vibrant essence of spring in every piece, they allow beauty in harmony with nature to emanate with every gesture—an ever-unfolding allure captured as an enduring emblem through time.
