Enjoy wearing the Masriera initial “J” this Summer

May 2009


Masriera in its 2009 Collection launches the Masriera alphabet and presents a unique jewel paying homage to these Summer months.

The Masriera Art Nouveau letter “J” made in 18 carat yellow gold with brilliant cut diamonds and coloured fired enamel, is framed in a stained glass window full of golden rays which show us the classical Summer Mediterranean landscape, with a crystal clear ocean dyed in a turquoise bluish colour, that gives the purple sunset the beauty of its ephemeral reflection. Both the initial “J” and the rest of the Masriera alphabet are conceived as unique pieces, and represent with magic realism daily scenes assembled in the strong power that recalls an initial letter which suggests exclusive names. Masriera drew the typographies of his personal alphabet more than 100 years ago, at the beginning of the 20th century, endowing them with an unusual richness in the design of their modern forms and fusing colours never seen before in the landscapes that frame each one of the letters. Masriera recovers in the middle of the 21st century, this 2009 Summer, the complete collection of these pieces which still today continue having the expressive strength and the ability to adapt to the current trends without loosing any of their original essence.
