Still thinking about the @lecolevancleefarpels tal

Still thinking about the @lecolevancleefarpels talk on Renaissance jewels, I wandered through the @uffizigalleries for inspiration. I love how paintings from that era conceal meaning in the smallest details—like a Capricorn-shaped pendant in a Raphael, symbolizing fidelity, or coral beads in a Bronzino, once thought to guard little ones from harm.

Yesterday I joined @lecolevancleefarpels conference on Renaissance jewels—one of my favourite subjects! It reminded me of this print I designed years ago, inspired by the Cheapside Hoard the lost London jewels, one of the many references mentioned. Sharing a few screenshots from the talk. If you're nearby, the exhibition is now on in Toulouse!

The carved skull won the poll-so here it is, transformed into a keyring. I carved it from a beautiful piece of shorl tourmaline, known for its powerful spiritual properties. A perfect amulet to carry with you-especially on a full moon like tonight's. DM me if you're interested in purchasing it 🌕 🙏🏻

On Dance Day — wisteria petals dancing away, as the season fades in Florence.
A print with a hint of Japanese influence.

With the Rick Owens exhibition in Paris coming up,

With the Rick Owens exhibition in Paris coming up, I'm doing a bit of manifesting—hoping I make it there this year to see it.
Throwback to the 2018 exhibition at Triennale Milano, which left a lasting impression on me.
I’ve juxtaposed some of the photos I took back then with images from my Master jewellery collection, which was influenced by Rick’s aesthetic.

A dream collaboration, truly.

Inspired by Tracey Emin—who paints a crucifixion

Inspired by Tracey Emin—who paints a crucifixion every year—I grabbed my inks today and sketched this Pietà I came across in a local church.
Tired of reading about Hermes raising Birkin prices and random people going to space for ten minutes in my feed.
This felt like a way to cut through the noise.
Happy (and hopefully reflective) Good Friday.

Here it is — the final print from the @fabrique.official series.
Did you have a favourite? Magnolia petals (mine), yellow roses, or this last one?

My friend Angela really liked the illustration I made, so I felt inspired to turn this one into this animation of @lalamichmich. I love her dramatic silhouette. I'm really hoping to catch the next Rick Owens exhibition in Paris later this year. The one I saw with my friend Petteri in Milan was unforgettable. #rickowens #parisexhibition #palaisgalliera #michellelamy
