Repossi

A family house that moved from Turin to Monte Carlo to the Place Vendôme, now drawn by Gaia Repossi, who studied anthropology at the Sorbonne. Her jewels are architecture for the hand: rows of gold fused into one ring, a single peaked line, a diamond floating on a hidden bar above the skin.

Founded by Constantino Repossi. Repossi site

The conversation

Repossi answering

  • Allegra

    Berbère after Allegra, de Grisogono

    Berbère takes up the single ring that reads as several and lines its rows up straight, plain or paved.

  • The Tiffany Setting engagement ring: a round brilliant diamond held by six prongs on a platinum band engraved Tiffany & Co., on a white ground.

    Serti sur Vide after The Tiffany Setting, Tiffany & Co.

    Repossi takes the stone lifted clear of the band to its limit and hides the setting, so the diamond hovers on nothing.

Inside the house

  • Antifer four-row ring in pink gold, each row rising to a point, on a light grey ground.

    Antifer after Berbère

    Antifer keeps Berbère's rows and gives each a single peak, so the ring rises into a ridge like the Normandy cliff it is named for.
