Hall 5 Sector : A100 - Bijouterie argent / vermeil Booth number: D 027
What are the main new collections that MATER jewellery tales will present at Bijorhca Paris 2017? In this edition of Bijorhca, MATER jewelery tales will present its latest collection inspired in the Portuguese pavement called “Calçada”, 925 sterling silver with cubic zirconia and Marcasite. The Portuguese pavement is a great historical heritage and covers many of the streets and squares of Portugal and Portuguese-speaking countries. The Portuguese pavement is the result of the irregularly shaped stones, usually in black and white limestone, which can be used to form decorative patterns or mosaics by contrasting the stones of different colors. It is today a distinctive element of the portuguese identity. MATER jewellery tales will also present the Leixões collection, in 925 Sterling Silver inspired in a new architectural element of Porto Cruise Terminal, in Oporto, by the Arq. Luis Pedro Silva, the coating hexagonal tiles with varying provisions, that as the incidence of daylight change color. The perception of the “unruled” tiles that covers a large part of Leixões Terminal building causes an empathic zig zag that is better felt with your hands.
