The 'dragonfly' - Libellule Earrings are made from handcast bronze on a waxed cotton cord.
Being an alloy made of copper and tin, bronze possesses the desirable characteristics of both these metals. The skin’s natural oils help maintain its deep, rich colour and gloss over time.
For the past 20 years, Elena Dosio and her team of designers and craftsmen have been creating one-of-a-kind bronze and silver jewellery pieces with a timeless taste for essential forms.
The Pesci Che Volano collection features an extensive selection of statement rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants entirely handmade in a small atelier in Florence using the ancient lost-wax casting method. The raw, unpolished metals used to make the jewellery give them a rustic, antique feel while their intricate details bear some resemblance to Etruscan works.
The name Pesci Che Volano (‘flying fish’), was inspired by a triptych altarpiece painted by Dutch draughtsman Hieronymus Bosch, where human figures ride flying fish. This image is a metaphor for the triumph of fantasy over reality and a constant reminder of the need to set our imagination free.
