In March I introduced my first-ever virtual trunk show that includes a manufacturer new designer, whom I have been truly enthusiastic to function and share with everyone-Lu Rebuffo. Each piece is handmade by Lu employing 14k yellow gold and real gemstones, based in Miami, Florida. The gemstones are all stone-cast, created to appear practically treasure-like with a semi-finished really feel to them. The collections I debuted in excess of on @xbplzcmvsonu are influenced by Miami’s Artwork Deco architecture exactly where Lu grew up, his fascination with all the celestial sky, his curiosity for memento mori jewelry, and his in depth visits to museums globally.
Lu is regularly engaged on new collections, with all the first three becoming the Baguette Selection, the Halo Assortment, along with the Esqueleto Assortment. I have posted fifteen items from these collections, all for sale more than on shopGemGossip-you can see aspects of each and every piece, sizing and value on just about every article. Have in mind most parts can certainly be sized. Every single collection incorporates a distinctive motif, but they play off one another and search excellent alongside one another. More details on each and every assortment in Lu’s individual text:
The Halo Assortment is my homage to the celestial sky. These pieces are produced to simulate orbits of celestial bodies and they are statement-makers. The Esqueleto Selection is impressed by memento mori parts through the previous and have nearly a treasure-like sense to them. They can be great for stacking with other rings or cheap necklacesother skull layouts of mine. The Baguette Collection is mix-in assortment…these parts could be integrated with my other collections.
It’s got been a pleasure working with Lu and understanding about his scientific studies and instructing himself when most “old school” academics didn’t comprehend the categories of pieces and concepts he dreamed of creating. Though he has taken classes on jewelry building, the majority of what he does currently is self-taught. He now is engaged on new collections, incorporating gemstones like opals to fashion earringshis types, and earning some rings with the Halo Selection that happen to be smaller in scale. I possess certainly one of his statement-making Halo rings and i am absolutely obsessed. I wore it just lately whilst in NYC and was stopped 2 times from folks asking me about this.
