Thank you very much to New Yorker : Katryn Casey
for having mentioned GUALTI on her website “Part-time Italian”
where she writes about her travels…
Venice: Bring On the Off-Season
An atelier called Gualti in the Dorsoduro section was nearly my undoing. Designer Gualti’s jewelry creations are drop-dead stunning. (Obviously, I didn’t have the right foil for the necklace to hand, but you get the idea.) His architectural wraps not only are gorgeous; they’re miracles of design ingenuity that can be arranged into all kinds of flattering, wearable art with the help of bead magnets so powerful I had to keep the two sets pretty far away from each other to photograph them. (Look closely to the left of the wrap.) Longer versions of the piece have shown up here and there as red-carpet looks for European opera stars.
I will make a point of visiting this shop every time I’m in Venice.
