In Italian, vetro means glass—a material that captures light, reflects time, and reveals layers of color and memory.
In the Vetro collection, past and present converge, creating pieces imbued with significance and
story.
Mosaics stand as a testament to the human ability to create meaning from fragments. Since
ancient Roman and Byzantine civilizations, this artistic technique has been used to construct
images that captivate and endure, each a reflection of its maker’s imagination and skill.
During her travels, creative director Ana Damous encountered fragments that would become the
essence of this collection. Each mosaic and gem was chosen not merely for its beauty but for its
capacity to convey a singular, renewed story.
The influence of Venice, with its stained glass that transforms light into vibrant, shifting color,
also guided the selection of gems. Chosen for their transparency and luminosity, the stones
echo the effect of filtered light seen in Venetian glass mosaics. Symmetrical compositions
converse with Victorian aesthetics, whose subtle presence shapes the contours of the
collection.
The pietra dura technique, used in two of the central pieces, is notable for its precisely fitted
hard stones that create continuous surfaces. The result is a solid, almost architectural
construction. In contrast, the Venturini technique, focused on the juxtaposition of textures and
materials, introduces tactile and freer compositions that challenge that structure.
In the collection’s rings, micromosaics transcend their static surface and evolve into
three-dimensional objects, opening new ground for their presence in space.
Each design originates from a reference. The double-band model draws from ceremonial
Egyptian and Byzantine jewelry that symbolized unity or intention. The medallion ring evokes
the symbolic role of signets, seals, and sentimental lockets. The pierced shank reimagines
vinaigrettes rings used to hold solid perfumes. And the inverted model repositions the stone at
the base, reorienting the gaze.
