The glossy enamel, the black and white of the spotted pattern on the body of the ring, brilliant and full on the finger, are a fundamental element of this jewel. When we thought of an effect to give the bronze for this type of ring we explored many possible applications — our artisans surprised us with truly special effects and extraordinary mastery, yet we were searching for something that would touch a different chord in our world of colour, a visual expressiveness with something ironic and playful in it. Then the gold-plated bronze bezel defines the scene and holds it — a stable element in an unexpected composition. And here, on this ring, the bull: the vitality of the earth on a ground that speaks of today. The contrast is unexpected and convincing — the strength of the subject and the vivacity of the spots find each other with a surprising naturalness.

The bull is tenacity made image — life that stays, that carries, that builds with constancy. On this oval that tenacity meets the most graphic black and white in the collection, and the subject takes it in stride. It carries it naturally, like one who stands on their own in any context. True vitality crosses the contemporary too — and here it does so with the verve that only the Dalmatian can give.

The Dalmata’s spotted pattern frames the scene with a contrast that enhances every volume — black and white converse with the bull’s mass, the tension of the muscles, every vine leaf rendered by the relief.

Each colour tells in a new way — orange “vibrates” the black and white, blue “cools” the composition, yellow “opens”, green “freshens” and so on.

The bull says many other things in this jewel — those that whoever chooses the composition knows and feels within. And more, because every tone brings out new things, new sensations, new visions.
