VIVALDI spring: the gemstones

Spring colors inspired us to choose a marvelous array of gemstones that are the absolute protagonists of this new Vivaldi collection.
This time, we chose yellow citrine, blue topaz, peridot, and eco-friendly pink topaz. The colors represent the season's beauty, its blooming flowers, clear blue skies, and warm sun rays. 
It is our first time using a completely eco-friendly material, as our pink topaz is a man-made gemstone. Natural pink topaz is rare and expensive and can never be used in routine production. We chose this gem because its bright pink shade was incredible and, besides the color, we really appreciated the fact that it is not mined and good for nature. 
To make the design even more interesting and dynamic, the gemstones we use are also differently cut: the yellow citrine and blue topaz are briolette-cut, while the green peridot and pink topaz are brilliant-cut (the typical cut of round diamonds!). We opted for setting the latter upside down, which means with the point facing up. That is why we thought to use especially these two gems, green and pink, to build our Vivaldi Spring rings and earrings, which gives them a modern and unusual look we adore! 

VIVALDI spring: behind the scenes

The setting of our video and photo shoot was the flower shop of Massimo Bennati, a talented floral designer based in Castiglion Fiorentino, a small town not far from Cortona. Flowers were the perfect natural background for this campaign, dreamy and poetic like the famous Vivaldi music composition.
Besides the flower shop, we chose to film outside at the beautiful Loggiato Vasariano, built in 1513, where you have an amazing view of the valley below. The town of Castiglion Fiorentino is where Megan studied architecture when she first came to Italy - she used to gaze out from the Loggia and ponder the beauty of Italy. In the same town, she met Sebastian, and from here, the modern history of DelBrenna began!
While filming through the town, we took some images in a lovely alley where the model lives — we also met her mom and her grandfather during the shooting! It is a small world, and ours is full of stories to tell!
