Ferragamo unveils fine jewelry lines
Salvatore Ferragamo introduced its fine jewelry collection and summer women’s collection Sunday at the Royal Hawaiian Center boutique during a private event to benefit Friends of the University of Hawai’i Cancer Center.
The Salvatore Ferragamo Jewels collection comprises three primary lines:
The Futuristic Line: Inspired by the label created for Ferragamo in 1930 by the Futurist painter Lucio Venna, it features ridged bracelets, earrings and pendants in silver with spider-web graphics. Pieces start at $200.
The Vara Line: The buckle used by Maison Ferragamo footwear is transferred onto rigid bracelets and silver cabochon rings to which the scroll-saw technique has been applied.
The Gancino Line: With its use of yellow and pink gold, diamonds and semiprecious stones, these gems honor the hook that was born as a closure for purses and bags.
Salvatore Ferragamo is open daily at Royal Hawaiian Center from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Call 971-4267.
