- A Co.Ro. piece, a book: to dive, seaside, into different seas; to stroll through the architecture of cities we love; to get lost in faraway countries or in the faces of humanity as captured by a poet of portraiture.
Here are five styling suggestions for your summer reads. Because more than the right outfit, the print on a swimsuit or scarf, or a mirrored or neon accent to catch the eye, we’re convinced that what really makes the difference — even while turning the pages of a book — are the jewels we wear.
Positano pendant, large and soft against bare skin, or small and delicate on a shorter chain, in silver or gold-plated — to feel the “metaphysical silence of the Amalfi Coast” described by Goliarda Sapienza in Appuntamento a Positano.
IMA ring: the biography of a photographer who searched for Paris in the eyes of the urban wanderers filling its boulevards and cafés. In the imperfect tense of the lens, we follow the life of Robert Doisneau.
Guggenheim earrings, a spiral to slide into as we trace the footsteps of Frank Lloyd Wright in Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead. The public and private worlds of the father of modern architecture unfold in a kaleidoscope of overlapping visions.
Tokyo earrings, where a pearl meets minimalism. Japan, from the The Passenger series: a country in pocket format, revealing its habits and character, the flights of its traditions, and the luminous, restrained enchantment of its landscapes.
Colosseo Quadrato ring, perhaps the most “design-forward” piece in the Co.Ro. collections — solid yet weightless, a synthesis of arches and geometry. Perfect for holding your place in the pages of a twentieth-century Italian classic: The Conformist by Alberto Moravia, a coming-of-age novel that pulls no punches, not even with its protagonist — one of those books you simply have to read.
See you under the beach umbrella.
