Gualti (Rio TerĂ Canal, near Campo Santa Margherita, 3111 Dorsoduro, 041/5201731, WEB www.gualti.com) makes creative jewelry in colored resin that looks as fragile as glass but is as strong and soft as rubber. Earrings take the shape of mysterious sea creatures-sea anemones or jellyfish-broaches look like fall leaves, and necklaces are reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth’s ruffled collars. Silk shoes can be custom “garnished” with jewelry.
