HACHA, from the Egypt jewellery collection

$ 12,400
  • Description
    ‘HACHA’, is a unique piece from the 'Egypt' jewellery collection by Mexican artist Julio Martínez Barnetche. A bold statement necklace in gold-plated solid .950 silver with hand-carved ebony wood and a Lapis Lazuli gemstone that gives an extra dimension to the piece.

    This collection is elaborate: highly skilled wax modelling and direct carving of organic shapes in ebony wood and supreme quality 1st-grade Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan combined with hand-made silver chains and gold leaf applications.  The collection is a combination of demanding and ancient techniques, which makes these sculptural jewellery pieces unique. The whole EGYPT collection consists of just 18 unique pieces.

    Without intention, this collection resumes the sacredness of Egyptian art. Lapis Lazuli, Ebony wood and gold leaf have been present since ancient times. These three materials are the core of Julio’s bold EGYPT jewellery collection, which consists of 18 unique pieces. The artist combines different materials in his pieces and unites them masterfully into a coherent object full of surprise and the power to make us wonder.

    Direct carving masters in stone are belonging to a genre that is more and more disappearing. The work of Julio Martínez Barnetche is of high technical mastery combined with a creative fluidity that has the capacity to reveal the aesthetics hidden in the crystalline structures of the stones or the inner life of wood specimens. Martínez Barnetche, who is an established pioneer of the direct carving technique, continues to stretch the limits within his three-dimensional work to new heights.
