"...In the realm of high fashion, few names evoke the same level of prestige as Bottega Veneta. Under the visionary guidance of Matthieu Blazy, the brand has embarked on an exciting new chapter with its inaugural fine jewellery collection, crafted by skilled artisans in the enchanting heart of Venice..."
This eagerly awaited collection features 15 stunning pieces that embody the brand's unique blend of elegance and whimsy. From striking teardrop earrings to imposing chain bracelets, Blazy's mindful approach to design ensures that each piece resonates with the sophisticated aesthetics that define Bottega’s clothing.
Since taking the helm in late 2021, Blazy has successfully merged artisanal craftsmanship with modern flair, redefining what “investment dressing” means in today’s fashion landscape. He posits that fine jewellery is the ultimate investment—personal, enduring, and far from the fleeting trends that often dominate our wardrobes.
At the heart of this collection are the lavish 18k gold teardrop earrings, elevated to new heights with luxurious diamonds. Originally introduced as costume jewellery in a prior collection, this must-have accessory has since transformed countless ensembles into striking statements of style and sophistication. The revamped teardrop earrings capture the very essence of Bottega Veneta's allure.
Blazy’s creations invite us into his world, where art and personal memories converge. Drawing inspiration from family heirlooms, vintage lighting, and even the lush garden of his Milan home, he employs an unconventional blend of cuts that produce captivating light reflections. Crafted primarily in Vicenza—a celebrated hub of Italian jewellery making—each piece tells a story of Blazy's rich artistic vision.
The collection is elegantly divided into three families: Drop, Primavera, and Catena. The Drop family resonates with the brand's iconic motif, while Primavera and Catena take inspiration from the delicate forms of wildflowers and the opulent aesthetics of Venetian chandeliers. Each exquisite piece showcases premium 18K gold and the finest diamonds, from intricately designed white gold earrings with hand-set diamonds to sleek dropped necklaces and bold chain-link bracelets.
As Bottega Veneta captivates fashion enthusiasts worldwide, Matthieu Blazy’s debut fine jewellery collection stands as a stunning testament to exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary elegance. Each glittering creation promises to be a treasured heirloom, reimagining luxury with a fresh perspective that beautifully aligns with Bottega’s enduring legacy.
