Glenn Spiro at PAD London 2023

Glenn Spiro unveiled the second iteration of “Materials of the Old World” during PAD London 2023. The exceptional collection delves into the jewellers profound devotion to harmonising exclusive artefacts with contemporary designs and craftsmanship.
Glenn Spiro has crafted a series of pieces that pay homage to the timeless allure and heritage of ancient cultures, illustrating the potency of design in connecting the past with the present. 

The collection is enriched with ancient elements that took the jewellery house over two years to source, including 'blonde' amber, Egyptian carved garnet cats, agate beads, horn, Antique carnelian, and African gold components.

Among the highlights are geometric golden elements, meticulously handcrafted between the 17th and 19th centuries by the Baoulé people, a prominent Akan ethnic group originally from Ghana and now prevalent in Côte d'Ivoire. Several creations in the collection incorporate these 9k gold elements, whether paired with turquoise cabochons for stunning earrings or adorned simply with old-mine cut diamonds.

Antique amber is another featured material in Spiro's designs, showcased in a diverse array of pieces in the collection. One necklace is adorned with 9 Antique amber rondelles, complemented by emerald-cut citrine and diamonds, while a set of earrings and a bracelet introduce a rare "blonde" ancient amber. Notably, the designs are reversible, ensuring that the back is as enchanting as the front.
