GIULIANA MICHELOTTI
Rain, wind and sand are the elements that influence the creations of Giuliana Michelotti. Her GM Collection, released worldwide in 1995, displays her mastery of combining silver and precious materials such as diamonds, turquoise, coral and fluorite to produce one-of-a-kind pieces. Giuliana, a native to Italy, has spent the last 20 years traveling, researching and exploring to create her inspirational jewelry collection. Her unique designs are reflections of tribal and ethnic traditions from her treks to Africa and Asia.
The bond created by the union of metal and precious stone is unsurpassed.
Forces of nature are the soul of Giuliana’s work. Her use of natural stones “washed by the rains and sculpted by the sands” are the core materials of her collection. After finding the perfect centerpiece, she combines hand-molded wax and pure silver to finish each exquisite production.
Giuliana believes that jewelry “provides security,” that a person wearing jewelry has a self confidence about them. It’s the “confidence of a man or woman expressed in their posture, a bold and sensual feeling of being desired.”
The shape and energy that transpires through movement brings empowerment to her GM Collection. The weight of her work, too, does not go unnoticed. It becomes a part of the wearer the moment it’s first worn. The pure silver is chilling to the touch of skin; the “bond created by the union of metal and precious stone” is unsurpassed. BOND
