The Italian luxury fashion house continues the metamorphosis of Serpenti, its most magnetic icon.
A manifesto of pure form projected into the future, Serpenti Aeterna radiates with renewed energy. Entirely pavé-set with a vibrant composition of coloured gemstones, this radical reptile plays with colour, light, texture and form to express pure joie de vivre.
Serpenti Aeterna is sheathed in scintillating gemstones. A free and extraordinary composition unfolds its essential lines into sculptural volumes, both playful and precious. Here, the Roman jeweller orchestrates a harmony of stones in varying dimensions, cuts and hues. Within this rich palette, each gem asserts its individuality, shaping a charismatic aesthetic.
