Etnochic, or almost. The turquoise lends itself to interpretations flashy and distant from classical models. The rediscovered jewel styles of African or Oriental civilization blending with contemporary tastes. But not only. It also captures certain geometries and mathematical repetitions that somehow calmierano its primitive appearance of the mineral and its evocative power of Ancient Egypt, which already in 1925 had resulted in Cartier jewels and nécessaires now legendary.
The callaina, a term that means 'beautiful stone' used by Pliny in his Naturalis Historia to mention turquoise, encased in spirals of gold or protected by strings of diamonds finds its perfect location in the jewelry niche focus its fragile but lovely earthiness.
