Geology, which is a science whose main object of study is the earth, is divided into multiple disciplines. Anthony Barrouyer's ring collection associated with this theme also presents a style of jewelry, with a common spirit but different characteristics. The rings, pendants, bracelets are in solid silver with a legal title of 925/1000 sometimes associated with gold with a legal title of 750/1000, with or without fine or precious stones. For some creations, the aesthetics rendered by the work of angles, hollows, openings in the metal, evokes the physiognomy of rocky landscapes, cliffs, crevasses, steep, marked by the erosion of time.
Sometimes the streaks in the metal of the ring recall the superposition of geological sedimentary layers that can be observed in rocks. Other jewelry in 925/1000 silver and 750/1000 gold, can be close to volcanism and more precisely the appearance of volcanic rocks after eruption like scoria, the metals seem to have merged or melted, or even burst, under the effect of extreme heat.
Pendants from the Krazy Stones collection can evoke plate tectonics, with the superposition of different pieces of 925/1000 silver giving a geometric but asymmetrical style.
Finally for other pieces, all unique I remind you, we find a reference to speleology, more specifically to stalactites and stalagmites, born and evolving in caves. Their shapes are irregular, elongated, and sometimes they seem to come together to form columns.
You have understood Geologic Collection, visual journey, raw style, very marked where the aesthetics of the jewelry underlines the physical history of our complex and secret planet.
