Bold Designs That Defy Conventional Jewelry
"CORE JEWELS" crafts one-of-a-kind jewelry, centered around black diamonds – a fusion of the unyielding black hue and the unconquerable diamond.
The "DT01/DT02" plate rings and "SIGU" signet rings, added to the lineup in April, embody the signature CORE JEWELS aesthetic, merging minimalist forms and contemporary interpretations that project abstract images derived from inner inspiration.
The forms, created to draw out the inherent allure of materials like diamonds and precious metals, manifest unique techniques employing edges, curves, and distortions.
Through surrealist expressions, ranging from perfectly symmetrical designs to organically distorted asymmetries, the pieces achieve a diverse spectrum of character.
While the maison holds a deep commitment to diamonds, a distinctive feature is the creation of designs that deliberately do not place diamonds at the forefront. The focus is on the relationship between form and material, resulting in pieces with a profound sense of unity.
This collection redefines the relationship between diamonds and metal, introducing new facets of appeal through techniques such as sculpted diamonds with inner and outer reliefs, diamonds carved flush with the metal surface, and settings that partially obscure the diamonds.
Furthermore, while gold and platinum are typically the standard bases for jewelry settings, it is intriguing to see combinations with not only silver but also novel materials like silk and rubber.
