BY ALFREDO RAVASCO, MILAN, CIRCA 1935

Ravasco’s peculiar and widely appreciated style came from a mix between Art Decò, the use of semi precious stones such as malachite, onyx, and agate, geometric shapes and realistic details, often set with little animals. A connoisseur of 1920's Paris fashions, Ravasco created jewellery that was unique and stylish often with geometric patterns, using bright, sometimes contrasting colours as a background to diamonds and coloured stones.
