Nature as a muse
Of the jewelry, precisely, this is what Polène introduced into its collections in June 2023. Inspired by the clasps and metal fasteners that adorn its handbags, the brand has developed a line guided by nature. Thirteen brass coins gilded with 24 carat gold, made in a Florentine workshop. The rings, earrings, bracelets and necklaces in this range are called Aeolus (for the wind) or Eroz (for the earth) and seem shaped by the elements. These raw and tormented creations look like precious sculptures that nestle around the neck or rest at the base of the wrist. Chic as can be.
