JV Insardi Inspires Curiosity in New Collection
Creative Director Jen Insardi brings a new take on classic gold bead designs to her “Solar” collection.
The 18-karat yellow gold pieces in this collection showcase inlaid stones, including champagne diamonds, black sapphires, smoky quartz, chalcedony, onyx, and gray pearls.
New York—JV Insardi launched its new “Solar” collection last week.
Founder and Creative Director Jen Insardi created this collection to “delve into the human fascination with the unknown, celebrating our quest for discovery, whether it be tangible or abstract.”
Seen throughout the collection is a classic gold bead design that has been carved open and inlaid with gemstones.
Champagne diamonds, black sapphires, smoky quartz, chalcedony, onyx, and gray pearls are used as a symbol of the belief that “exploration leads to growth and that the unknown is to be embraced, not feared,” explained Insardi.
When creating Solar, her goal was to design pieces that were avant-garde yet familiar.
“I aimed to take a design concept, a shape that has been used repeatedly, and reinvent its perspective. My goal was to introduce something fresh while still drawing the consumer in with the comforting essence of the classic sphere shape,” said Insardi.
