To represent its meaning, the jewel exploits the theatricality of the Baroque as a style rich in multiple details.
Clearly inspired by the famous Trevi fountain in Rome, at the center of the medallion there is the man who traces the infinite path of art, with another interpretation he can also be identified as God who guides the hand of man in this route.
However, man needs the four elements offered by nature to realize his works, so here is the representation of the fire placed high up, fed by the air generated by the vortices, then there is the water which falls through a waterfall towards the low by wetting the plants generated by the earth element, plants that produce the oxygen necessary for life.
The stairs placed at the sides, which recall another baroque work of the eternal city, namely the famous Spanish Steps in Trinità dei Monti, represent the route;
it is that of the man who creates the work of art by climbing professionally one step at a time, as happens in the stages of life itself…
Uncontainable like water, like the fury of Neptune, divinity of the seas who sometimes unleashes his impetuosity. The raw aquamarine recalls the shape of an iceberg, the mythological divinity seems to look out over the ice wall destined for rapid dissolution, due to ongoing climate change, an inexorable rise of the seas ideally guided by Neptune who dominates and punishes the human race.
TECHNICAL DATA SHEET:
White gold pendant with raw aquamarine and diamonds.
A jewel that celebrates love, the great, deep one that unites two people through small things; just one drop of your love in my heart is enough to give life to an immense love, this is the message it expresses… The pendant, made of white gold with pavé diamonds and teardrop tourmaline, is composed of a delicate intertwining of details in shiny gold and others embellished with small diamonds, the design comes from the lightness dictated by the Liberty style, soft lines and curves that are an integral part of the jewel itself. It is the first of a small series of pieces that will have the same meaning but which will be made in different styles, as the multifaceted goldsmith Ivan Barbato likes to do. The constant detail throughout the collection will be a teardrop-cut precious stone which will from time to time be included inside a heart, the drop of love…

The woman is the absolute protagonist in this jewel, a human figure placed in the center of this creation.
She herself, in a more direct and less stylized representation, is an integral part of the tree that identifies life, her legs are grafted into a sturdy trunk and her arms unwind into luxuriant branches, the little one is nestled on her belly diamond, the precious life that is generated, that will be born… Suitable not only as a jewel to give as a gift on the occasion of a new birth but also to give as a gift to your mother, to your grandmother, as a symbol of that close genetic and family bond that no one will ever be able to scratch…
A balance between different themes translated into a unique jewel, second life, reuse, past and future meeting, tradition and modern technology. The idea was born precisely from wanting to combine a symbol of the future, identified by the hand, with something from the past.
The hand ideally represents the metaverse, while we observe virtually we have the perception of touching what we see. The ammonite placed in the center of the pendant represents second life and reuse, a fossil of a prehistoric animal that finds new life in a jewel where matter, technique and symbols coexist in perfect harmony.
The ammonite almost seems to have the appearance of a clock that marks time, the passage…
On the back of the pendant the ancient divinity of the Two-Faced Janus is represented, symbol of the passage and of every new beginning, with one face turned to the past and the other looking towards the future;
it seems to come out of a cave, from an archaic time, yellow gold veins superimposed on smoky quartz have the appearance of stalactites or rather of gold veins, just as precious material is born and then shaped by the hand of man.
If you are looking for a jewel that expresses your love for life, nature and family, you could choose a jewel with the symbol of the tree of life.
The tree of life is an ancient symbol that represents the connection between heaven and earth, between roots and branches, between the past and the future. The tree of life is also a symbol of growth, prosperity and harmony.

Item description
Along the external and upper margin, which acts as a frame, it is possible to engrave one or more names. The real aesthetic and even more symbolic surprise comes from inside, the internal part can in fact be opened; with a small rotation it rotates on itself like the circle of an armillary sphere and reveals the engraving of two other names.
The jewel represents a journey through time, places and different forms of art; in a single piece coexists the goldsmith art of the Florentine Renaissance, the micro-mosaic in marble that recalls the ancient Roman floors and a mythological figure daughter of the ancient Greek civilization, cradle of Mediterranean culture. It is a journey through the author’s own experience, the face of Medusa recalls the themes of mythology appreciated since childhood, the material from which it was obtained is lava stone from Vesuvius and geographically leads to that Campania land to which he himself belongs through his origins, land of unique places in the world such as the ancient city of Pompeii, which through its excavations and its archaeological finds has always fascinated Ivan, hence the love for ancient Roman mosaics. The journey then continues through the goldsmith’s art that unites everything, it is clear the reference to the Florentine techniques so much appreciated, learned and perfected in a training course that took place however far from the Tuscan capital but rather in the region where his atelier lives and is based. ; that territory between the lakes of Lombardy where Ivan has learned the work he loves and which he transmits through works like this one.
