La grande artista che ha disegnato preziosissimi anelli per un brand italiano ispirandosi ai granchi
American multidisciplinary artist Pae White has collaborated with Milanese jewelry house Maison Vhernier to create a limited-edition ring collection inspired by crabs and marine life. The collection was unveiled in Venice during the launch days of the Venice Biennale, following a preview in Los Angeles at collector Eugenio Lopez's home. White drew inspiration from crab exoskeletons and shells found on the California coast, working with Vhernier's master artisans in Valenza to produce ten ring designs—each limited to two pieces—featuring abalone mother-of-pearl, jade, rock crystal, sapphires, and diamonds set in white gold.
This collaboration matters because it exemplifies the growing synergy between high craftsmanship and contemporary art, a theme aligned with the 61st Venice Biennale's emphasis on collective creativity and skilled labor. By merging White's conceptual practice—focused on capturing ephemeral phenomena like light and reflection—with Vhernier's signature Trasparenze technique, the project blurs boundaries between wearable jewelry and sculptural art objects. It also highlights how artist-jewelry collaborations can elevate traditional craftsmanship into the realm of contemporary art discourse, particularly within the prestigious context of the Biennale.
