As in watchmaking, also in jewellery, we are always looking for new and interesting stories to tell. Carlo Palmiero's is a precious example of passion and talent at the service of high Italian craftsmanship, capable of expressing beauty and refinement through unique and precious artefacts.
THE ORIGIN OF HIGH JEWELRY: THE PALMIERO LABORATORY IN VALENZA
Valencia and the capital of high jewelery in Italy and one of the most important craft centers in the world. It is therefore no coincidence that Valenza hosts the Carlo Palmiero's laboratory-atelier , a tireless forge of imaginative and fascinating creations.
On the other hand, Carlo Palmiero owes a lot to his hometown: Valenza saw him work alongside the greatest experts in the sector, search for an original language and therefore shape his own art by combining traditional craftsmanship with highly current, avant-garde design . Carlo has largely repaid his training "debt" to the city by becoming one of its most well-known and appreciated ambassadors in the world .
Carlo Palmiero's jewels are an alchemy of thoughts, suggestions, reflections, memories . The magic of nature and then the feelings, art, cultures, places and people are the inspirations from his imagination . Gold and precious stones become canvas and colors with which to paint his artistic story. The “Master” shapes his own inspirations and makes them tangible material. A sketch, a barely sketched drawing are ideas that slowly become more and more concrete, waiting for the goldsmith's skill to finally bring them to life.
This is, after all, the great thing charm of high jewellery : shaping the dream in precious material, challenging time and current fashions
THE ART OF PAVÉ AND THE REVOLUTIONARY APPROACH: PALMIERO'S CREATIONS
Carlo went further, he wanted to break down the jewels, question aesthetic standards crystallized in centuries of tradition. Carlo's eye and expert hands then move from the center of the jewel, the fulcrum of classic jewellery, to its interior, dilating the shapes, to fix the observer's attention on the entire surface, enhancing the composition as a whole .
From this revolutionary, almost philosophical approach to the product, was born predilection for pavé , the process that is best suited to adorning large surfaces and which has now become the Palmiero's distinctive sign.
THE SOUL OF PALMIERO JEWELRY BETWEEN COLOR AND SUGGESTIVE SHADES
It's exactly this conceptual reinterpretation of jewellery to fascinate. As with watchmaking, our intent is to offer products that arouse emotions, that embody the spirit of those who created them and that are able to tell a precious and unique story.
But the jewel theory would remain sterile speculation if it were not accompanied by an almost obsessive selection of materials . Each stone is carefully selected for quality, chromatic variety and cut: essential ingredients to create shades capable of creating fascinating shades of color.
And therefore color is the other big thing protagonist of every Palmiero creation : the rarest colored diamonds are combined with the best natural sapphires, intense topaz and bewitching rubies, returning an ever-new kaleidoscope of light to the eye. Color is precisely the most important factor in definition of the value of the sapphire , which together with the ruby, is considered one of the most precious and rare in the world.
LOOK AT JEWELRY WITH NEW EYES: THE MAGIC OF FANTASTIC BEINGS WITH DIAMOND SKIN
Carlo Palmiero's creations are a masterpiece of goldsmith skill , but also of creativity, passion and search for the very essence of beauty . His art, capable of transforming gold and precious stones into true works of art, is a homage to the Italian artisan tradition and an invitation to look at jewels with new eyes, not as inanimate objects, cold jewels to wear, but as something alive, light and enchanting: fantastic beings with diamond skin .
This is the infinite beauty of which Carlo Palmiero is capable.
