World-renowned designer Paloma Picasso adds to her reputation for creating distinctively bold and captivating jewelry with Paloma's Venezia, a new collection inspired by one of the world's most intriguing cities. A lifelong traveler, Paloma Picasso has incorporated the art and culture of many exotic places in her work. Having visited Venice from the time she was a teenager, she developed a particular fascination for the city's canals and bridges, palazzos and great public square.
Paloma’s Goldoni is based on the ornate cast iron gates that offer a glimpse through the windows and into the courtyards of the city’s grand palazzos. The designer captures the opulence of the gates and beyond with jewelry featuring an intricate scrollwork motif inspired by the decorative ironwork of the Guggenheim Museum, the former home of art patron Peggy Guggenheim. Among the creations are necklaces of 18 karat gold embellished with diamonds and drop earrings shimmering with diamonds and colorful gemstones.The designer’s flair for color is highlighted in Paloma’s Palina, a reflection of the city’s gondola mooring poles. The poles’ striped design is repeated in 18 karat gold and sterling silver jewelry with vibrant enamel including red, blue, green and orange. Worn alone or with colors combined, the rings, bangles and hoop earrings give fashion an exuberant new style.
Paloma’s Luce celebrates the ornamented lanterns that are suspended from the vaulted ceilings of Venetian landmarks. Drawn to the lanterns’ spiral patterns, Paloma Picasso designs 18 karat gold and sterling silver pendants of generous scale and fluidity. She also creates cuffs, a dome ring and earrings covered with diamonds.
