"The past is never dead. It's not even past."

William Faulkner

***

Veronica Smirnoff's paintings embody this idea through imagery rooted in folklore, iconography, and collective memory. Her figures inhabit spaces where symbolism and reality merge, encouraging viewers to engage with history not as something distant, but as an active presence.

***

As part of Parto Artifex, Smirnoff's work explores how inherited forms can be transformed, reimagined, and given new life for today.

History in Veronica Smirnoff's paintings remains alive, fluid, and open to interpretation.

***

Working in egg tempera on wood, she draws from iconography, folklore, and ancient visual traditions to create works that exist between the physical and the symbolic. Her luminous figures invite into worlds where stillness and movement, chaos and calm coexist in delicate balance.

***

In Parto Artifex, her paintings remind that the past continues to generate meaning in the present.

BOAT RING

***

Some jewels are worn; others travel with you.

***

The Boat Ring is built around a simple yet profound gesture: a boat that turns endlessly within the circle of a ring, a symbol of passage, uncertainty, discovery, and return.

***

Designed by Maurizio Fusari for The Jewelry Icon, the work reflects a practice shaped by decades of experimentation. From his early years in a family goldsmith workshop to his collaboration with Giò Pomodoro, Fusari has approached jewellery as a form of sculpture — one that condenses stories, memories, and meanings into precious matter.

***

A bold gold ring featuring a rotating element, the Boat Ring balances playfulness with depth, asking you where we are headed.

***

Coming soon to our Shop.

Gabrielle Greiss has always worked in the tension between polish and rebellion.

***

Trained at Central Saint Martins and shaped by houses like Chloé and Sonia Rykiel, she knows the grammar of fashion intimately — and chooses to bend it until it almost breaks.

***

Her latest jewellery collection, "For You I Am…", is far less innocent than decoration. Inspired by Einstürzende Neubauten’s Blume and the metamorphic logic of Ovid, the pieces ask what happens when devotion becomes unstable: when identity is offered up to desire, knowing it may end in transformation, failure, or loss.

***

These flowers are heavy, sculptural, and confrontational. Narcissus locked inside a rigid collar. Sunflowers thrust outward like declarations. Anemones spiralling across the body. Greiss treats jewellery as a physical sentence — beauty under pressure, memory cast in bronze, tenderness edged with punk.

BOAT RING

***

A ring is never static. Even at rest, it suggests movement: cycles, returns, departures, and the possibility of coming back changed.

***

The Boat Ring transforms that idea into an object. At its centre, a rotating vessel navigates a field of symbolic tension: between anchoring and drifting, certainty and exploration. It is both jewel and metaphor, a reminder that every journey begins without guarantees.

***

Created for The Jewelry Icon by Maurizio Fusari, one of the most distinctive figures in contemporary Italian goldsmithing. Trained in his father's workshop and later collaborating with the celebrated sculptor Giò Pomodoro, Fusari has long blurred the boundaries between sculpture, architecture, and adornment. His works carry the gravity of objects meant to outlast time.

***

Crafted in gold and crowned with a spinning centrepiece, the Boat Ring is a talisman for those who understand that movement itself can be a destination.

***

Soon available in our Shop.

"The mood of the individual figures usually remains ambivalent; it arises in the interplay with all the other figures, which are connected and simultaneously differentiated by a dense interplay of lines. Depending on which lines the eye follows, new symbioses, attraction, or even repulsion can always emerge."
