From the Mediterranean to the world, we take our culture with us wherever we go with our handmade designer jewelry. Not only because each piece designed by our artists is inspired by our culture -its landscape, its history, its light and colours, its character-, but also because some of them proudly translate into the object the plastic work of some of our renowned representatives of the artistic legacy of our land that are still so present today. First we captured the art of Joan Miró in a collection of conceptual jewelry, and now it is the turn of the Barcelona master Antoni Gaudí, whose famous work has inspired us to bring the Gaudí Jewelry collection to life. The result? A tribute in the form of a collection of designer jewelry that captures and interprets the beauty of the work of the architect Antoni Gaudí, a delight for those who have been captivated by his art and are looking for jewelry with soul, character and its own identity.
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.
