The artistic relationship of Elsa Schiaparelli and Salvador Dalí comes to life through figural bijoux.
Surrealism in jewelry has long had a rich history within Maison Schiaparelli, and has now been interpreted through the daring eye of Daniel Roseberry.
As an homage to artist Salvador Dalí’s deeply collaborative relationship with Elsa Schiaparelli, there is the gilded “Lips” bracelet, a plump mouth that dresses the naked wrist.
The piece is an ode to Dalí’s fascination with lips, a feature that he famously used to create a sofa in 1935. Dalí referenced lips throughout his art, inspiring Schiaparelli’s own designs, as well.
Other body parts have also been cleverly translated into figural bijoux :
- Warm gilded nipples are now intended to be worn as earrings and brooches.
- Finger and toe caps, dreamy with their lifelike features, are made to elegantly slide over the hands and feet.
- And in classic surrealist form, a nose acts as a glamorous escape from its intended meaning and is worn as a head-turning earring.
