Editor’s Note
Bottega Veneta, under Creative Director Matthieu Blazy, has launched its debut fine jewelry collection. This marks a significant expansion for the house, translating its renowned leathercraft artistry into a new realm of sophistication.
Bottega Veneta makes a remarkable entry into the world of fine jewelry under the impetus of its creative director, Matthieu Blazy. Renowned for its exceptional craftsmanship and mastery of leather, notably the iconic “intrecciato,” the Italian house reaches a new peak of sophistication with its first jewelry collection.
The chosen setting? Venice, in a 15th-century palace where past and avant-garde intertwine, a perfect echo of the designer’s aesthetic and philosophy.
This inaugural collection, divided into four lines: Drop, Catena, Primavera, and Enlaced, comprises fifteen pieces conceived as works of art. Far from the beaten path and expected classicism, it asserts itself through its ability to reinvent tradition. The water-drop-shaped earrings, signatures of this collection, captivate with their play of light and spectacular lightness.
While the high jewelry market is booming, Bottega Veneta approaches this new universe with humility and depth, seeing jewelry as an emotional legacy, laden with meaning and memory. Manufactured in Vicenza, the cradle of Italian jewelry, these creations combine ancestral know-how and radical modernity.
Inspired by nature and its organic forms, Matthieu Blazy transforms details from his Milanese garden into unique wonders, where thorns and softness intertwine. Each element, whether a bracelet with large links or a ring with curves punctuated by flashes, whispers a story.
Venice is not just a presentation case: it is the very heart of this revelation, the soul that breathes life into the creations. Here, each piece becomes an experience, a promise of exclusivity and personalization, a unique fragment of oneself.
Starting from €2,500, these pieces, available on the official website and in a selection of boutiques, reflect their uniqueness and the emotional resonance they carry.
