Philosophy
Thousands of years ago treasures of ancient worlds contained jewelry that was inspired by cosmic constellations and sacred legends. It was believed that precious jewelry had a direct link to the spirit world of Gods. Those remote cultures were drawn to mysterious, mythological symbols, and would often incorporate these elements into jewelry to give each piece a magical power.
The collections of Dionea Orcini reveal those world mysteries shrouded with secrets. This haute-couture, glamorous jewelry exudes a spiritual message channeled by mystical symbols from around the world, creating a uniquely personal and precious amulets.
Wearing these stunning pieces is to journey around the world, crossing continents and centuries, discovering the stories of sacred, magic ceremonies immersed in the extravagance and opulence of magnificent royal courts.
