This jewelry set signed by Mussio Design, a reference of contemporary Chilean design, stands out for its elegant modular treatment and the protagonist use of lapis lazuli, Chile's national stone. The alternation of silver and carved stone in angular shapes gives the pieces a modernist aesthetic, with clear references to the sculptural goldsmithing of the 1970s and 1980s. A sober and singular ensemble, representative of Latin American signature jewelry.
