The Rock Hound at Second Petale Gallery
Back in October The Rock Hound exhibited some pieces as part of Aristar Jewels “The artistic jewelry as never seen before” showcase as part of the third edition of the Milano Jewelry Week. You can find out more about that in a previous blog.
International galleries that are partners of the event presented awards to designers whose jewellery stood out from the crown and whom they want to include in their exhibitions. The Rock Hound was picked up by not one but two of these prestigious galleries! Eleni Marneri Gallery and Second Petale Gallery both selected pieces from The Rock Hound for collaboration in future exhibitions.
As part of this Second Petale Gallery is currently featuring their chosen pieces to their exclusive clientele via their website. Alongside striking jewellery from the 20th-21st century, Second Petale showcases the work of emerging and well-known contemporary designers alike.
The creation of Arina Pouzoullic, founder and curator, she features art jewellery, rare and groundbreaking pieces from creators who push the boundaries of design and craftsmanship. In short it is a novel selection of special and hard to find pieces, The Rock Hound is at home.
“As soon as I saw them, I knew they were special. The Rock hound designs are bold, vibrant and have a very strong identity.” - Arina Pouzoullic, founder and curator, Second Petale Gallery.
Whether the pieces of jewellery are work of contemporary artists, or they came from the private collections and reputable auction houses, all the jewels are chosen for their uniqueness and artistry.
Over the coming weeks Second Petale will feature pieces from the completely unique award-winning Chromanteq Collection as well as the showstopper Muzo Candelabra Necklace. These head-turning pieces are utterly one-of-a-kind and the culmination of hours of meticulous work by my own two hands.
With materials which are totally traceable, including gold sourced in South America, Peru and emeralds from Muzo in Colombia. These pieces have a proud provenance giving them honesty in their luxury.
