Jewelry has always been more than just decoration, but these days, it’s practically art. Sculptural and surrealist jewelry designs are making waves, turning heads, and redefining what we consider wearable. Leading the charge? Daniel Roseberry at Schiaparelli. His recent couture collections have pushed the boundaries of jewelry design, transforming body parts — eyes, lips, ears and even entire busts — into bold, symbolic statements that explore themes of identity, humanity, and the subconscious.
His creations are a nod to founder Elsa Schiaparelli’s original vision, which emerged through multiple collaborations with artists such as her friend and dadaist pioneer Salvador Dali.
But Schiaparelli isn’t the only one leaning into the surreal. Delfina Delettrez Fendi, the Fendi family scion, has an eponymous jewelry line that’s all about playful, standout pieces. Think single piercing earrings and septum rings adorned with gemstone-studded eyes and lips!
Then there’s newcomers like Robert Wun, who has wowed showgoers season after season with his scorched and splattered couture creations featuring elaborate jewelry that adds to the measured maximalist vibe.
This trend is more than just a fashion moment; it’s a return to individuality in a world where trends can often feel monotonous. It’s about making a statement: whether that’s about who you are, what you believe, or how you see the world.
And that brings us to the latest brand to hit Tanzire, Nino Sepo. Hailing from Tbilisi, Georgia, this avant-garde jewelry label is all about storytelling through sculptural jewelry. Each piece is handcrafted in brass and plated with 18K gold sourced from the Caucasus Mountains, and handpainted with enamel. Founder Nino Sepiashvily taps into universal human experiences and emotions to craft deeply symbolic pieces of jewelry.
Here I Am Ring
This statement ring features a face partially covered by a hand, symbolizing the act of hiding behind one’s choices. It’s a personal narrative turned into a surrealist statement, from the brand’s ‘Decisions’ collection.
Statement Motion Earrings
These gold earrings showcase a fish motif, symbolizing new beginnings. With their sculptural design and hammered texture, they channel the dramatic flair that defines today’s surrealist jewelry.
Hand Hoop Earrings
Here, two hands joined in a circle represent our agency in our own decisions. The bold design captures the essence of surrealism, turning something as simple as hands into a powerful symbol.
Half Moon Earrings
Featuring the brand’s signature face motif, these statement earrings speak to the exhaustion of daily multitasking, inspired by Nayyirah Waheed’s poem ‘all the women in me are tired’. Profoundly moved by feminist poetry, Sepiashvily blends social commentary with surrealist art.
Face to Face Cuff Bracelet
Sepiashvily made the decision to redesign her 2020 collection to come face-to-face with the feelings of the COVID-19 pandemic: fear, discontent, uncertainty and new beginnings. It’s a deeply personal piece that embodies the brand’s commitment to artful storytelling.
As we welcome Nino Sepo to our curation, we’re excited to offer demi-fine jewelry that’s not just about adornment — it’s about deeply personal emotions and stories that transcend time and trends, offering a way to wear your heart on your sleeve while making a bold statement.
