Tulle
Tulle
A half-millimetre sheet of gold pierced by hand into hundreds of minute hexagonal cells, so the metal reads like net lace.
Tulle removes metal: a Buccellati goldsmith saws hundreds of hexagonal cells from a thin plate, a technique Mario Buccellati drew from Venetian lace in the 1920s. De Grisogono's Allegra keeps each ring slender and lets several spiral together, so the 2003 piece looks airy without a single hole in it. Both make gold look lighter than it is. Tulle is lace; Allegra is loose thread wound round the finger, in rose and white gold.
