(PRESS RELEASE) VALENZA, ITALY — The venerable House of Vendorafa, master goldsmiths creating handmade fine jewelry from Valenza, launch the new Torre Collection, inspired by battlement castle tower architecture. With design influences from the fortified defensive structures protecting ancient city walls, manor homes or castles, Torre presents a pattern of intervals presenting repetitive rectangular insets, a distinctive symbol of medieval architecture.
Incorporated as either decorative or functional, the long walls and round towers were considered strong, elegant and resistant to siege. They provided the perception of strength, power and protection, allowing for defenders to safeguard their property from enemies and launch defensive artillery. The highly distinctive pattern also on Churches presented an added element of beauty in architecture and design emulating the functional architecture to defend and protect.
Allowing for a dual special perspective, Torre by Vendorafa offers sleek long and linear lines, sharp angles, and styles fashioned in round castle drum towers. Strong, graphic yet simple designs from the bar necklace to the single section “torretta” or small tower are present in stackable rings of different widths, multiple sized hoops earrings, rings, cuff bracelets and stud earrings show strength and beauty in shape, design all in a hand-hammered matte finish. Torre will launch in the U.S. at retailers for summer 2023.
