The Aryball (The Mirrorball)
About the Aryballus…
The Aryballus was in use in ancient Greece. It was a small terracotta vase containing perfumed oils. It was used by athletes during their training, hung on the wrist or on a hook. In fact, it was believed (as is still found today in aromatherapy) that the scent emanating from certain oils had energizing or anti-fatigue properties. Ours is a precious reinterpretation: a jewel in 925 silver or 18k gold with a lava stone inside which, sprayed with perfume, guarantees its persistence for at least 96 hours before a further recharge. It is made in a numbered series by a famous Italian goldsmith commissioned by Daniele Cappello Riguzzi, one of the most famous Italian noses and Brand Ambassador of the Giacomo Casanova Venezia Foundation. It depicts the windows of the noble palaces that hosted the legendary Venetian adventurer. A tribute to the story of his extraordinary life.
In line with the philosophy of recovering an object to make it timeless, we have also created another version of the Aryballus: the Mirror Ball54 in silver or white gold. The mirror ball was an icon of the golden era of disco music featured in the famous Studio 54 in NY City. This version has an extraordinary character as its testimonial: Kid Creole! Very elegant in his "zoot suit" look and legendary interpreter of unforgettable hits such as Stool Pigeon, My Male Curiosity, Endicott, Annie I'm Not Your Daddy, I'm A Wonderful Thing Baby and many others accompanied by his inevitable Coconuts.
With only one in diameter; they are an elegant and “shining” way of wearing your favorite perfume as a pin, pendant on the wrist or neck: in pairs as earrings or cufflinks.
