HIGH JEWELLERY
With the Ballerina collection; The weight of light, Libelula Jewellery presents its first high jewellery collection: two singular creations, a ring and a bracelet, each conceived as a future heirloom.
Crafted in 18k gold and set with G VVS diamonds, every detail has been considered with the same intention that guides all of Libelula's work: to create everlasting jewellery.
I have always been fascinated by ballet, especially ballerinas. When a ballerina stands almost still on stage, whilst everything around her is moving, she becomes very close to resembling a statue. I have been thinking about that stillness.
Everything on stage looks so easy, yet it’s very hard.
What jewellery and a ballerina share most intimately is a relationship of effort. The ballerina’s technique exists so that you don’t see it. The jeweller’s technique exists so you don’t see the metal. Both are arts of the hand that disappears.
A performance vanishes as it ends: a jewel outlasts everyone who touches it. But they reach for the same thing from opposite directions. A moment of light.
This ring captures the stillness of a dancer while everything around her moves. Soft tiers of diamonds rise around the centre stone like layers of tulle caught mid-turn. Every detail is crafted so the hand behind it disappears, leaving only grace.
The ring is a 0,70ct G VVS Diamond held in a setting of 14 round GIA G VVS Diamonds and 26 GIA G VVS tapper Diamonds, a total of 2,27ct inspired by the delicate structure of the tutu skirt.
