Once upon a time, in a place where the heavens met earth, there lived two celestial siblings, Eosphoros and Hesperos, gods of the morning and evening stars. Eosphoros, the Dawn Bringer, heralded the arrival of light in the morning, while Hesperos, the Evening Star, ushered in the twilight. People, in their wonder, saw the two brothers as two separate celestial bodies, marvelling at their distinct appearances in the grand tapestry of the sky.

In a parallel tale, many moons later, the mortal artist Georges Braque (1882–1963), a master of forms and shaper of perspectives, known for his pioneering spirit in the world of Cubist art, sought to capture the essence of space and time. In his lifetime, Braque transformed his visions from the ethereal planes of Cubism, moving beyond the angular constraints to embrace the fluidity of still lives, colors, and textures.

Red ochre, a natural pigment rich in iron, holds a special place in human history, with its use dating back as far as 300,000 years. First discovered in the Palaeolithic era, this warm, earthy hue has been a companion to mankind since the dawn of time. Since then, the color red has painted history with its vibrant strokes: a trademark hue of power, divinity, valor, and celebration.

These red vine earrings by the incredible jewelry artist Luz Camino and paintings by Jacqueline Ostermann and Alisher Kushakov, demonstrate the power of red in art. The women in the paintings, adorned in red or juxtaposed against a red backdrop, become symbols of strength, emotion, passion and energy of life itself, transcending mere visual appreciation.

Autumn air, nuances of color, chilly sunset in warm undertones.

These earrings by Hemmerle, counterbalanced by the calm atmosphere of Jacqueline Ostermann's painting, are the serenity that we need in our everyday lives.

Autumn is a good time to remember our friends, our parents, our grandparents – for those lucky ones who still have them. These are our anchors. Give them a call. Buy a cake and surprise them with an unexpected visit.

A rainy day, a storm at work, worldwide instability. At times, all we need is a few minutes’ proper, deep rest, to take our minds off the problems big and small, and to see the picture in a new light.

In the kitchen of Ilgiz Fazulzyanov, hot fire melts metals and enamel, and cooks remarkable jewels. From the capsule collection of 2023, "Fruitful Year" ("Урожайный год"), come the juicy, fun, geometric and colorful vegetables: carrot, radish and beetroot.

In the vibrant hub of Copenhagen, a tale began in 1963. Ole Lynggaard, a visionary with a dream to meld metals with nature, established a modest workshop. While he had some foundation from his parents' jewelry stores, Ole yearned for more than tradition: he wanted to create art.

For many jewelers, the path to originality is paved with years of craftsmanship under the looming shadows of established names. This was the case for Elie Top, whose earlier days were spent working alongside some of the industry's most authentic icons.

Dragonflies – Ilgiz’s inspiration for this dainty, Art Nouveau masterpiece – are unique creatures. Their two compound eyes afford almost 360° visual coverage, along with the ability to perceive a broader range of colors than humans. Each of these eyes is made up of 28,000 individual units, and to manage this vast visual data, a dragonfly dedicates as much as 80 percent of its brain power.

Welcome to the world of Sophia Vari (1940–2023), where geometry and emotions interact and complement each other, and where the border between sculpture and wearable art is lovingly blurred. Take a stroll through the Elisabetta Cipriani gallery in London where, until recently, you could have enjoyed an exhibition of Sophia Vari's wearable sculptures, both monumental and intimate.
