Roman architect and product designer Maria Clelia Scuteri brings an edge to clean geometrical shapes in the first jewellery collection from her new brand, Invaerso. The jewellery pieces nod to the traditional filigree method, but their intricate forms are created using 3D-printing.
‘The traditional process of silver filigree is a very delicate and complex manufacturing technique that unfortunately is disappearing,’ says Scuteri. The careful process, which involves folding and manipulating slender silver wire as if it were embroidery, results in unique forms each time.‘These precious characteristics have inspired the collection to be innovative and contemporary without sacrificing the quality and tradition of a process that now belongs to the past,’ the adds.
The designs play on the traditional ways we wear jewellery, bisecting the finger in an angular riff on aor sharply framing the lobe of an ear. Creating their strong silhouettes using modern technologies was not without its challenges. ‘Different manufacturing techniques such as 3D-printing, parameterisation, handcrafting and upcycling, means facing different metrics and different variables that you can’t always control,’ Scuteri says.
