Damiani Wins Couture Award
Staff -- JCK-Jewelers Circular Keystone, 8/1/2005
The House of Damiani was honored with the Haute Couture Design Award at the Couture Collection and Conference show in Las Vegas. The Italian jeweler won the award for its spectacular Vulcania necklace.
More than 1,370 diamonds in the necklace create a playful kaleidoscope of innumerable shades in a virtual volcanic eruption, with its 110-plus carats varying in color from the warmth and vibrancy of cognac to cheerful fancy yellow to pure brilliant white diamonds.
The Vulcania necklace also transforms into a tiara, crowning an ethereal and delicate figure that casts the roots of her inspiration into Nordic mythology, seeing middle Earth as the meeting point between fire and water/passion and purity, according to the necklace's creators.
