Double: A Unique Black Marble Ring Inspired by Primitiv Art

A Wearable Sculpture by Luca Marovino

Luca Marovino presents Double, a stunning black marble ring that combines art and jewelry in a unique and wearable sculpture. Inspired by primitiv art, this ring is part of the Divinae collection, dedicated to the stars of Hollywood such as Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Marilyn Monroe, and Sofia Loren. With its aggressive yet refined style, Double pays homage to the iconic Brigitte Bardot.

What sets Double apart is its use of black marble, a material that exudes elegance and sophistication. The deep black color creates a striking contrast against the wearer's skin, making a bold and captivating statement. Each piece of jewelry in the Divinae collection takes over four hours to create. Marovino meticulously cuts the marble, shapes it into a ring, and finishes it with a polished surface.

Despite its size, Double is surprisingly comfortable to wear. Marovino has carefully crafted the ring to ensure it is not heavy and can be worn every day. Made from black marble, it is both delicate and resistant, although caution should be exercised to prevent any accidental damage.

Marovino's choice of black marble presented a unique challenge. Sculpting black marble is already difficult, but creating jewel-sculptures from it requires even greater precision and delicacy. However, the result is a collection of small wearable sculptures that bring art into everyday life, transcending the boundaries of museums and galleries.

Double, along with the other pieces in the Divinae collection, showcases Marovino's creativity and technical skill. Each stone suggests a new shape, while still retaining its primordial essence. These one-of-a-kind jewels allow art to be present at all times and in all places.

Recognized for its ingenuity and resourcefulness, Double was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2016. This prestigious accolade celebrates designs that incorporate best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With Double, Luca Marovino has created a wearable sculpture that combines the beauty of black marble with the elegance of jewelry. This unique ring is a testament to Marovino's artistic vision and craftsmanship, allowing art to be cherished and admired in the form of a stunning piece of jewelry.
