Everybody knows that Banyoles is nearby Figueres and Cadaqués. Everybody knows that those places are Dalí’s. Everybody knows that Dalí is one of the outstanding surrealist authors. And that Surrealism is one of the great movements of the 20th century. So far, everything is clear.
What not everybody knows is that in our way we wanted to pay a little tribute to Surrealism in a year where marvelous exhibitions are held to honor the creativity of this movement. For example, Pompidou in Paris exhibits up to January the 12th “The Subversion of the Images”, a review of pictures and surrealistic cinema. The MoMA in New York shows this movement with an erotic touch. The exposition is called “The Erotic Object” and you can visit it up to January the 4th.
And the theme of objects is of course very interesting to us. We aimed at designing a piece of fashion jewelry that is fun, that is a surprise, as if it would be a really weir, almost a surreal object. It is all about a double ring. It is an exclusive design, part of a limited edition, as everything we do.
Who said that one ring can only be for one finger?

PICK OF THE WEEK
Silver plated ring with onix
Designed by Barbara Chimenti. Suite collection.
You will like it if you like: Elsa Shiaparelli ‘s dresses, strange and puzzling
objects from Meret Oppenheim.
For women: who keep a surprise on their fingers.
You can wear it with: nothing else. A ring is worn solo. Mix it with a balloon skirt,
with an up-to-the-ankle trousers, with a T-shirt of organic cotton. With a nice nail polish.
Why do we choose it: because it is an unexpected piece and we like to buy rings.
