The chain's tale
Intricate, embellished or oversized, there is no such thing as the weakest link in jewelry, but what might the “chain’s reaction” be?
“I am, by nature, dualistic. Not to say more. I form bonds but I also restrain, and this symbolism causes my mood to swing between euphoria and melancholy. A contradiction of which I am proud. Was it not Aristotle himself who associated genius (creativity) with melancholia? I’ve had a hard time convincing, for sure. It was never an easy road. I blame the names. No-one takes you seriously when you’re called herringbone, figaro, coffee bean, popcorn or paperclip. Even snake! As for my unfortunate association with a certain medallion man, well, that almost sealed my fate. But I am stronger in adversity. I’ve made technical progress you wouldn’t believe. See how flexible I have become. How wonderfully lithe. In gold or in platinum, my links have grown bolder, plumper, offering perfect surfaces. Fresh space for creativity. Pomellato, who has shown me nothing but love, expands my horizons and reimagines me in asymmetrical form, as a double cascade or a high jewelry belt. Messika leads me on a journey from collarbone to throat, as a multilayer choker with a ring to match. Multicolored gems erupt into my innocent monochrome when Gucci drapes me in a profusion of rubies, tsavorites and sapphires in vibrant shades. As a powerful Titan, Pharrell Williams has me bristle with spikes for Tiffany & Co. My articulated frame gives form to every fantasy. Hang on me your wildest desires.” /public-objects/668fe959-4350-4fc5-abad-1c678b096449-b708d598-57c7-4a10-a8d3-28a5c6b79f60-Sans%20titre-1.webp Image sélectionnée
