The Rivoli Bracelet in shiny silver-toned brass paired with crystal rhinestones is from Balenciaga's 52nd Couture Collection. It is made in France.
Rivoli jewelry plays up an archetypal elegant style, imbuing a pure design with bold proportions. Its manufacture presents a balanced combination of 3D-printing technology and Haute Joaillerie craftsmanship.
The technique is highly complex: large-volume, thin-surfaced parts are carefully hollowed out. Each model is made via 3D-printing. Brass is then cast, worked, polished, and refined, piece by piece, by hand. Each part is then meticulously rinsed and galvanized.
All rhinestones, about 8,500, are applied individually.
Dimensions are 31 x 4.4 x 3 centimeters. Weight is 270 grams.
