At the height of its splendor, Florence was the residence
and empire of the Medicis, whose patronage and nurturing of the arts, although frequently self-indulgent, was truly astounding.
Our Medici Suite of fine jewelry stands as a tribute to this powerful family, and to the decorative arts and architecture
of the storied city that shared in their patronage and prosperity. Each picture panel is guillochet engraved with a starburst pattern,
and fired with enamel as richly crimson as the finest of Tuscan wines. Coined platinum images, in unbelievable detail, embellish
the heart of each enameled surface - in tribute to some of the most famed architecture of Florence: the Palladian Villa and
Brunelleschi's Dome. Golden fluted columns capped with acorn finials and joined by Platinum and Diamond accents, complete
our homage to one of the world's most magical cities.
The bracelet is adorned with Platinum rinceaux, early elements comprised of counter-spirals, while the earclips feature
Kraters, ancient urns that represent the rich history of this fine city.
