Inspired by the passion and
spiritual revelation of Dante's work, Angie Olami journeys back
to 13th century Italy to fashion The Paradisco Collection.
Her jewelry designs evoke the Florence of Dante and his beloved
Beatrice by incorporating motifs from Medieval art and architecture:
details from the marble Duomo, and the transcendent cathedral
windows of Orsanmichele, and Santa Maria Novella; and the splendid
paintings of Giotto and Duccio. These elements are combined with
gemstones and pearls, typically worn in the Middle Ages, as well
as the ethereal palette of ancient Roman glass. Olami then enhances
her designs with magical lines from the master poet himself to
complete The Paradiso Collection.
