Barcelona, Art, Modernism… The word that continues the series comes to mind effortlessly: Gaudí. For the Joidart creative team, creating a jewelry collection that summarises the work of the leading icon of Modernism is a gift. A walk through Barcelona is enough to soak up the richness, wit, and talent that bathes each work that Gaudí left in the Catalan capital. Playing with the line of the forging of La Pedrera or Palau Güell to turn it into bracelets, capturing the fascinating stained glass windows of Casa Batlló in earrings, exploring the hexagonal shapes of Gaudí’s paving stones, or taking inspiration from the roof structure of Gaudí’s Crypt. A collection full pieces made of 24 k gold-plated metal and Murano glass, paying homage to the great icon of the city of Barcelona.
Staying true to our craftsmanship, during the creation process we used the lost-wax casting method, one of the oldest sculpture methods which enables us to convert liquid metal into jewelry. For the Gaud’s characteristic stained-glass feature in this jewelry, we travelled to the workshops of glass craftsmen of our land.
Each jewel is presented in a box with the name of the collection and a postcard of Gaudí’s architectural work that served as inspiration for the piece.
