The « Venice In/Venice Out » VIVO Collection

A jewelry collection inspired by Venice ‘s history, with Spices coming IN and Glass beads going Out. Spices and Beads played a pivotal role in creating the wealth that funded the palazzi and churches we still admire today. Venice became the world capital of bead production in the 14th century while from the 13th to the 17th century, Venice was the most important trade hub for spices – pepper, cloves, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon…    
The collection combines spices and Venitian Glass beads, antique, vintage and modern.

La collection « Venise Import & Export » - VIVE

Une collection inspirée de l’histoire commerciale de Venise, qui a été un centre mondial d’importation d’épices, puis d’exportation de perles de verre. Épices et perles ont joué un rôle clé dans la création des richesses qui ont permis la construction des palais, églises et monuments que nous admirons encore aujourd hui.
Venise est devenue la capitale de la production de perles au 14ème siècle. Du 13ème au 17ème siècle, elle a été un des centres du commerce des épices : poivre, clous de girofle, cardamone, anis étoilé, cannelle… Cette collection combine donc épices et perles de Venise, contemporaines, vintages et anciennes avec des épices.
