THE CREATION OF THE PEARL AND DIAMONDS BUBBLE COLLECTION
In September 2023, I visited in Europe a Trade Fair for Jewelry, Gemstones, Pearls and Watches, with limited access for jewelry industry members.
At the event, I met several of my partner vendors from Germany and Italy and I established business partnerships with new providers too.
On the first day, searching between all the options of unique pearls, I found very interesting semi-baroque and baroque-shaped pearls.
Semi-baroque pearls are pearls that have a slightly irregular button, drop or oval shape and are not quite symmetrical. A baroque-shaped pearl has no apparent symmetry and is noticeably irregular.
The ones I discovered reminded me of bubbles, like air bubbles in the water.
I bought two different Tahitian and South Sea pearls, both different but with the same bubble effect.
That night at the hotel I checked again the shape of these 2 pearls and I started drawing ideas for the bail. I was thinking about how to add to the already interesting shape more of the bubble effect.
I decided to create bubbles with gold and at the same time to include diamonds or sapphires to represent the water effect.
I drew several versions, I was very excited and the ideas were coming one after the other. Bubble collection was born.
The next day early morning I was just waiting for the moment of going back to the event, with the idea of finding more pearls for the collection. I could buy only 2 more from hundreds and hundreds of pearls, but it was a good start to start creation of the pendants.
Still being in the event I contacted my European jeweler to share the news of the new collection and to start to work on it, She was very excited when she saw the designs.
Bubbles are handmade jewelry in Europe, with 14k and 18k white, rose and/or yellow gold. Unique pearls are selected one by one. Top-quality white and pink diamonds are used as well as sapphires to complement the design.
At the top of the page, you can find the video where you can follow the steps of the goldsmith craftsmanship process, which starts once the design is finalized and the pearl and diamonds are selected.
All Bubbles are created with care and attention. All are different, with their own personality. Enjoy the collection!
