The Whale Hoop

Francesca Villa creates designs inspired by travel and art, blending treasures discovered around the world with precious materials. In the FANTASIA collection, characters born from Villa’s imagination are transformed into three-dimensional jewels, appearing like protagonists from a whimsical tale. Crafted in titanium and enamel and paired with gold and gemstones, each figure is rendered with exceptional nuance and detail. Through the mastery of skilled artisans, every piece seems to come to life. These earrings take inspiration from a delightful story Villa created about a whale carrying a tiny cactus and a coffee cup. The whale appears to glide effortlessly along the 18K yellow gold hoops, its gentle movement evoking the charm of the original tale. A dangling iolite charm suggests the sparkle of splashing water, while a round-cut iolite set at the front of the hoop adds depth and a luminous wash of color. Together, the elements capture Villa’s playful and imaginative spirit with refined subtlety.
