Museums, women and jewelry

Time to start preparing my list of good wishes for the new year. And among them is to return to some cities like Berlin or Athens. They are both capitals where past is as present as future. They show it with two new museums that have just opened.

In the case of Berlin, it is not a new museum but a reopening. The Neues Museum has reopened after 10 years of restoration; it is a project from the architect David Chipperfield and it promises light, master pieces and an unforgettable visit. The picture most used to communicate this inauguration is the one of Nefertiti. It is amazing to realize that she keeps  being an unbeatable ideal of feminine beauty. The make up, the gesture, the necklaces that we imagine with color stones…. They are simply perfect.

In Athens, the event of the year has been the opening of the Museum of the Acropolis. A work from Bernard Tschumi, a shocking contrast but  a work that talks with the environment and that promises jewel after jewel. For instance this will be the first time that the Cariatides will be seen from all sides. Both examples give a lot of inspiration for designers of jewelry and fashion jewelry, even though thousands of years have gone by. Or maybe because of this.

P.S.: have you participated in the lottery? Hurry up.

PICK OF THE WEEK

Ring from Fashion collection.

Silver plated. By Nadia Rabosio.

You will like them if you like: strong designs with small  and delicate details.
For women: who recognize clear signs of craftsmanship, like the backstitch sown by the designer to the ring to refer to the fashion and couture world.
You can wear them with: the green jade  nail polish from Channel. If you can find it (there is a waiting list!). With the earrings of the same collection.
Why do we choose them: because even though they seem very femenine, they are perfectly suitable for men. This was not expected, was it?
