French jewellery artist Ariane Chaumeil has launched her Spring Summer 2018 Collection with 14 sacrifices, 14 adornments, based in Greek legend.
Thrown into the labyrinth to perish in sacrifice with 13 other young men and women, Theseus was saved by Ariane who fell in love with him, giving him the thread that allowed him to escape the Labyrinth after defeating the Minotaur.
The collection consists designs utilizing alloys and natural materials such as coral )collected from authorized fishing zones in Spain), worked shells, reconstructed turquoises, red agate, leather as well as faceted crystals.
Austrian beads showcase the technical work of Venetian crystal. With original patterns, as well as a precision work, including gold leaf, pure silver worked with the vaporized oxidation of silver oxide torches that are fixed in the glass. This confers iridescent colours ranging from a pearly white, with the gold until deep blue appearing only in contact with the light.
Ariane has drawn her inspiration from Greek antiquity and aims at projecting the wearer into this fantasized past, by reeling the thread that connects us to the modern world, creating real pearls of joy.
