GEOIDI ARE SHAPES WHICH UNDULATE; THEY TRACE A LINE AROUND THE EARTH. BY PRESERVING NATURE’S FORMS AND PATTERNS, THEY CONNECT MORE DEEPLY WITH A PRIMAL SENSE OF RECOGNITION. THEY ARE SOUVENIRS FROM YOUR ANCIENT BEING.
GEOIDI IS DESIGNER NICCOLÒ PASQUALETTI’S GENDER-NEUTRAL APPROACH TO FINE JEWELRY, CRAFTED BY TUSCAN ARTISANS IN NOBLE MATERIALS. IT IS AN EXERCISE IN ACTIVE SIMPLICITY, SEEKING TO DISTILL UNIVERSAL IDEAS TO WEARABLE PIECES.

SEME COULD BE A SEED IN ITS FIRST STAGES OF GERMINATION OR A CELL DIVIDING INTO TWO. THIS PIECE REINTERPRETS THE INDIVIDUALISM OF A CLASSIC MEN’S SIGNET RING WITH THE UNIVERSALITY OF BIOMORPHIC FORMS. IT BEARS THE SEME SYMBOL, WHICH CAN BE USED TO LEAVE AN IMPRESSION ON ANY YIELDING MATERIAL.
SEME
WITH ITS THREE BENT METAL HOOPS ENCIRCLING A CENTRAL MARBLE PIECE, ORBITA TAKES ITS NAME FROM THE MOVEMENTS OF CELESTIAL BODIES AROUND A STAR. WHEN ATTACHED TO ARCO IT ASSUMES A SCULPTURAL FORM, RIGID BUT FOR THE GENTLE MOTION OF EACH OF THE ELEMENTS. WHEN SECURED TO CATENA, IT BECOMES SUSPENDED AS AN AMULET, ITS CONCENTRIC CIRCLES RADIATING OUTWARDS.
ORBITA
TESSERE COULD BE GRAINS OF SALT CRYSTALS OR A RARE ROCK FORMATION. A SMALL INDENT IN EACH SUGGESTS THE IRREGULAR TILES IN A ROMAN MOSAIC. AS EARRINGS THIS IS EMPHASISED BY A SUBTLE ASYMMETRY, WHICH INTRODUCES A NOTE OF IMPERFECTION TO THEIR SIMPLE TESSELLATING SHAPE.
TESSERE
FESSURA COULD BE A CRACK ON THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH OR THE CAUSTIC REFLECTION OF LIGHT ON A SHALLOW AND STILL POOL. LIKE TECTONIC PLATES DRIFTING APART, THESE THREE MARBLE FORMS LEAVE TRACES OF A FORMER UNITY IN THE NEGATIVE SPACE THEY CREATE.
FESSURA
DUNA COULD BE A CRESTING WAVE OR A STONE ERODED BY THE WIND. IT REAPPEARS THROUGHOUT THE COLLECTION TO COMMUNICATE WITH DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE BODY IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
DUNA
MEANDRO COULD BE THE PATH OF AN ANCIENT RIVER. IT WINDS ITS WAY ACROSS THE BODY, RESPECTING ITS CONTOURS TO FOLLOW THE WAY OF LEAST RESISTANCE.
MEANDRO
ATOMO COULD BE A BERRY OR A BEAD OF DEW. AS A PENDANT, IT IS SUSPENDED AMIDST A SWIRLING METAL PIECE. HOWEVER, THE MODULAR NATURE OF THE PIECE ALLOWS IT TO BE RECONFIGURED INTO AN EARRING BY ATTACHING IT TO THE MATCHING HOOP. AS AN EARRING IT IS THUS MADE UP OF TWO MARBLE SPHERES — LIKE A RAINDROP AT TWO MOMENTS OF A DESCENT TO EARTH.
ATOMO
ARCO IS A BASE, A CURVED FORM WHICH IS COMPLETE IN ITS INCOMPLETENESS. IT CAN BE WORN ON ITS OWN OR WITH ANY OF THE PENDANTS FROM THE COLLECTION. THE STUDS, WHICH UNSCREW TO ALLOW FOR THIS CHANGEABILITY, ARE MASCULINE ELEMENTS IN AN OTHERWISE FEMININE FORM.
ARCO
CATENA IS A CHAIN, BUT IT IS ALSO A LINK WHICH CONNECTS ELEMENTS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE COLLECTION. ITS DUAL HOOPS ALLOW FOR IT TO BE WORN AT TWO DIFFERENT LENGTHS. WHEN WORN ON ITS OWN, THE CLASP ITSELF IS THE FOCAL POINT. WHEN COMBINED WITH A PENDANT, IT COMPLEMENTS, WITH ITS DELICATENESS, THE STRENGTH OF THE OTHER FORM.
