Mapplethorpe and the excellence of Place Vendôme Gaia’s strong artistic vision for this collection was supported by the expertise of the Repossi workshops. Months of study and exchange between the workshops and the design studio were necessary to develop the nineteen designs, each with a high level of detail and real technical complexity, in order to honor the authenticity and aesthetics of the inspirational models. All the elements have been shaped, assembled, set and polished by hand, in France or Italy, respecting the codes of the jewelry tradition and the excellence of the Place Vendôme. The experience and technical skills of the workshops have enabled them to integrate all the signatures of the House of Repossi: assembly systems, unconventional settings, setting of hundreds of diamonds - more than 1000 on the Chain necklace! - singular gold colors such as champagne gold, the most precise polishing so as not to alter the angles, and black rhodium plating, unconventional in the jewelry world, mastered only by a handful of Italian workshops. Particular attention was also paid to the different finishes, with varying degrees of patina for a vintage effect yet framed to the exact brushstroke.
