Old monuments in jewels: Artifacts how to integrate into modern jewels

Beauty is a terrible force. And modern designers and jewelers prove this. What is Dolce & Gabbana Alta Gioelleria 2025 collection that includes unique jewels with ancient coins? In each of them, the history, myths and art of ancient Rome are intertwined. Columnist Peopletalk Ekaterina Andreeva received so much inspiration from the presentation of the fashion house, which he decided to explain in detail about the formation of jewelry and the techniques of the past.

Using coins and other ancient annexes (mosaics, bass -relifs, microsculpur), the jewels that quote the past are not a separate phenomenon, but a natural consequence and reflection of historical events. The Dolce & Gabbana collection made it possible to verify again in the phrase “everything new is well forgotten”. In a modern framework of the old coins or Kama, the invented for a long time. Therefore, considering the Dolce & Gabbana collection, I smiled at the old and good tradition to use everything in the archeology community.

Let’s start from afar. Ancient Rome is the great empire that prolongs hundreds of kilometers (the good part of Europe was part of Rome). Of course, the past of the imperial provinces has absorbed the past: Etruscans borrowed the arched system, examined the construction of the temples of ancient Greece, and clearly revealed what the real luxury of ancient Egypt! It is about the latest situation we will be discussed.

In the 1st century BC, Roman and Egypt connection became particularly evident in architecture and jewelry monuments. In ancient Rome, the shit rings inspired by ancient Egyptian and Greek traditions were popular. In these rings, the sac-scarabar were often depicted, carved into precious stones such as Catolik, Agate, Jasper, Halzedon, Crystal, Amethyst, Pomegranate and Sapphire Mountain. Then they healed gold, silver or bronze and supported by pressure at the back.

Sokab adopted its importance in Ancient Egypt and served as a symbol of Renaissance, Protection and Sun. Initially, he served as a seal task to sign the rings with Scarabs and sign the transactions. They later became more decorative and were used to show the owner’s status, faith or property to any organization.

The most common object for inlay is Intealy (various Gemma). In the Middle Ages, such jewelry experiments did not lose their relevance, although they had a new wave of popularity, although they were old objects. Antique cameras and hemmas were rethinking with the prism of Christian symbols.

For example, antiques both served as a seal for documents and re -made in the rings of bishops or kings in the Middle Ages, adding Christian engravings: Christ’s crosses and monograms.

The cams were accepted as the symbol of continuity. The Merovenians used the Rome Intaly on their disk breasts (cloak fasteners) and combined them with inlays. These brooches symbolized the power and continuity of Roman culture.

The cams were used to create ruins. The Byzantine masters interpreted the Roman cameras with portraits of Emperor in the salaries of icons or crosses and interpreted them as images of saints. A camera with some Roman emperor may be the image of an apostle or evangelist. For example, Vi – VII Century Queen The Cross of The Gospel of Theodelinda, or the cross of the Lotar at the end of the X century of the Treasury of Achaeen Cathedral, where the Roman Emperor Augustus Augustus was in the center after the death of August, with Jesus Christ.

In the Renaissance, not only Humanism, Philosophy and Old Sculptures, but also with the old hemmas, they became full fleded jewelry. I think you’ve seen Botticelli at least once a “portrait of a young woman”. A complex hairstyle – a Florence wealthy decorated with pearl attracts all the attention of the audience, but if we distract, we will find a medallion with a camera around the girl’s neck. The medallion in the picture is an inverse copy of the press of the Roman emperor Nero from a Carnelian from the Lorenzo Medici collection.

The next lovers who would use antiquities in jewels were the masters of Napoleon Bonaparte Times of Times. Neoclasicism appeared after Pompey excavations again, and the first half of the 19th century came to the taste of the empires. Antique cameras were the foundation of Paurur. The founder of the Napoleon Court Jewelery and Nitot Et Fils Jewelery House Marie Etienne Nito, ancient Roman cameras, created a necklace and diyatems. For example, Tiara Polina Borgeze and Tiara Josephine.

Throughout history, it is understood that jewelers are only inspired by ancient times as an inaccessible ideal! On the one hand, this is true, European culture has chosen a standard that has long been following for more than a century, but sometimes there are exceptions.

At the beginning of the 19th and 20th centuries, Europeans captured a distant and fascinating Egypt: there were many Egyptian motifs with a lower and smaller monitoring of the original sources in art. At first glance, jewelers Jules Videz and Emil Philip create necklaces that resemble Egyptian at first glance.

Tiffany & Co reflects the shitty in the 1910s collections. Rene is called corn motives in tulip glass. All the jewels created from scratch were inspired by ancient Egypt, not from the inclusion of old objects in jewels. For this reason, when the tomb of Tutlukhamun was opened, we were transferred to the 1920s and the world brands published collections based on Egypt. However, some went further and bought ancient Egyptian monuments and used them as a foot board for the best diamonds and precious stones. For example, Cartier, the goddess Sekhmet and the precious stones of the god Gore’s egiptic figures.

And the last example. In the 1960s, Nikola Bulgari, the grandson of Sotirios Bulgari, the founder of the company, tried the old, medieval and American money placed in brooches and necklaces. The use of old and rare coins reflects Bulgari’s desire to honor the story, despite the poor protection of some coins. Bulgari did not correct them, protected any signs of impact and wear. Today, the Monte collection contains decor products as well as rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, and everything is unique, because the old coins are used in crowned, especially for the brand.

I will go to dig on the ps field, I can find an antique money for earrings.
