Meadow and bonsai flowers: Eleonora Ghilardi chooses nature for her new bijoux ♦ ︎
Eleonora Ghilardi is now a certainty in the world of bijou. It is, in fact, a designer who follows an original path, and who has not only practical experience but also theoretical experience, thanks to studies at the Goldsmith School in Milan. This is confirmed by the novelties presented at Homi, the fair that collects, among other things, many bijoux brands. One of the novelties is the Dandelion line, the wild flower that is found in the meadows in spring. The jewels are in silver or bronze and are composed of many stems that remind the pistils of the flower.
Another novelty is Bonsai, a collection inspired by the Japanese technique of miniaturizing shrubs and even trees. From the observation of the mini plants, Eleonora Ghilardi has decided to create wearable bonsai: three rings that can also be micro plants by table, at home, „as you would do with a real bonsai, which is also a small sculpture“. The vase of the Bonsai ring, in porcelain with very natural colors, can be used as a pendant for a necklace.
