Story

Italian-born Giorgio Facchini found his calling young, apprenticing as a goldsmith from age ten. As his artistic inclinations grew, he studied with sculptor Edgardo Mannucci and began to create both abstract sculpture and unique modernist, artist jewelry which incorporated classic goldsmithing with space age designs. His architectural pieces explored space and light, while his 1969 collection revealed his enduring interest in kinetic, spatial and futuristic elements, catching the eye of Pierre Cardin. This 18-karat yellow gold pendant delivers an eye-catching profile courtesy of its dynamic design and combination of 18-karat yellow gold, lapis lazuli and white agate.

Maker

Mahnaz Ispahani Bartos, a greatly admired New York curator and collector, discovered her love of jewellery as a child through gifts from her Pakistani mother and Iranian grandmother, including Persian turquoise earrings and rings, Meenakari bangles and an Omega watch designed by Andrew Grima. Witness to two revolutions, she set aside this young love for 25+ years of scholarship on matters of global wars and peace. In 2013, however, she returned to her passion, jewellery, turning it into a profession with the launch of Mahnaz Collection, a gallery celebrating global beauty. Her eclectic curation spans renowned and lesser-known names from various eras, all united by exceptional originality, artistry and craftsmanship.
