Love is Dead


After weeks and months of planning and preparation, I am finally able to show you my newest project. I have worked on the design, production, and concept, with love and care, and I literally couldn't wait to present it to you. Because after I came back from Paris, I decided, with hope and courage, to go back to what I was always passionate about: the esthetically beautiful. This time expressed through a new jewelry line named in a minimalist and primordial manner, BONE

So now that we have the concept, what should the first collection be about? Love is Dead is a collection with a spirit antithetical to romantic clichés. This first BONE collection is not intended as a manifesto against the general concept of romanticism and love, but only against superficial love which is being given and taken with great ease, and which came to define contemporary society.

Inspired by literature, music, and painting … Anna Karenina, Wagner's Isolde, Ophelia, both the one outlined by Shakespeare, and the one painted by Millais, the classic Juliet, Madam Butterfly, Sibyl Vane, that of Nabokov, but especially the one described by Oscar Wilde, were all women who lived, fought, and died for love. 

At the same time sensitive and strong, instinctive and rational, romantic and nonconformist, colorful and morbid, innocent and daring, this is a collection that tries to represent the complexity of femininity, distancing itself from the stereotypes usually associate with the feminine gender. Love is Dead is for the woman who only takes calculated risks, but never stopped believing in magic.

Gabrielle-"The Gift of Gab" said...

This first picture is so aesthetically beautiful and mesmerizing. I love your dark burgundy lip color. My favorite piece is the one you are wearing in the picture due to the red beads which are bold and quite exquisite. The skulls scare me a bit, but they add so much personality and darkness to your pieces. It seems like a battle between good and evil.

Condeera said...

As an artist who never ceases to amaze me, you have outdone yourself once again. I can't exactly say what I like most: the blend between classic and contemporary, the story behind your project, the royal gold tone, the way they perfectly capture your style... I even like the font of the quotations! :)) I can't wait to buy one.

nimic mai potrivit cu noua mea obsesie (gothabilly +southern gothic+shabby chic, romantică decrepitudine, da! moarte+love) decât aceste coliere. eu le plasez în sudul profund şi mlăştinos al statelor unite, la gâtul iubitei moarte a lui e.a.poe, un complex al ofeliei da, ar zice bachelard, în scorburi ale uitării, remuşcării, memoriei, decăderii, îngropate pe moşia franţuzlui, pe malurile etilice ale mississippiului lui faulkner. bineînţeles, îmi doresc unul, un colier.
