Sculptural Luxury: Movement + Pearls

Jewelry Set by Marcia Budet

Capturing Movement: Inspired by photographs of fabrics in movement from some of the most spectacular New York City Ballet performances, this set of pieces intends to express the elegance and grace that are shown on stage, just in a different medium.

The Sculptural Luxury: Movement + Pearls jewelry set by Marcia Budet is a stunning collection that combines the beauty of movement with the timeless elegance of pearls. Inspired by photographs of fabrics in motion from New York City Ballet performances, Budet has created a set of pieces that capture the essence of grace and elegance.

What sets this jewelry set apart is the way in which the photographs were analyzed and deconstructed. Forms were abstracted and reinterpreted to give form to the pieces, providing functionality while capturing the concept of movement. The result is a collection that creates an optical illusion, as if the pearls were floating in the air.

The design of the pieces in the set is focused on capturing the delicate gesture of gently holding a pearl. The metal frames the pearls, showcasing their classic nature and elegance. The composition of the pieces is full of harmony, achieved by minimizing the contact between the metal and the stone. This creates a very organic and natural feeling, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the set.

Each earring in the set is a mirror image of the other, promoting uniqueness and framing the wearer's face. The attention to detail and the thoughtful design make this jewelry set a true work of art.

The Sculptural Luxury: Movement + Pearls jewelry set is available in different materials, including 18k gold with white Japanese freshwater pearls, sterling silver with white Japanese freshwater pearls, and sterling silver with black Japanese freshwater pearls. The technical specifications of the earrings are 19mm in width, 77mm in height, and 6mm in depth, while the ring measures 19mm in width, 16.5mm in height, and 25mm in depth.

Marcia Budet, the designer behind this exquisite collection, has created a truly unique and innovative design. Her inspiration from the world of ballet and her attention to detail have resulted in a jewelry set that is both elegant and captivating.

The Sculptural Luxury: Movement + Pearls jewelry set has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2013. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit strong technical and creative skills, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
