Artistic director Francesca Amfitheatrof looked to tectonic movements and the apparition of life in “Deep Time,” her fifth and largest-yet high jewelry collection, which was unveiled in Greece.
For Amfitheatrof, the designs and in particular the gemstones used for them represented “a conversation about unity, [a reminder] that we are all connected [at a time] where we live in such a disconnected world.”
Hence a showcase imagined in collaboration with the Estudio Campana design practice that saw jewels paired with artifacts sourced by Emma Hawkins, a curator and collector of natural antiquities. There also was a performance at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus theater at the foot of the Acropolis in Athens that had dancers performing a work by Greek choreographer Dimitris Papaioannou to a score created by star violinist and orchestra conductor Renaud Capuçon.
Cue the progression of the collection, which starts with the diamond-and-emerald Gondwana set, named after one of the original landmasses encompassing what is today South America, Africa, India, Australia and Antarctica; continues with the Volcano collar necklace with its stylized array of cushion-cut Mandarin garnets and tourmalines that make the wearer look like they are emerging in a spray of lava; sees the planet’s geological upheavals in the three-metal transformable Rupture set make way...
For all that time, Amfitheatrof is adamant that “we are not into reproducing the past — we are moving forward,” not least adapting to current desires, such as transformability.
