VINCENTE GRACIA
Vicente Gracia was born in the Mediterranean city of Valencia, a place characterised by both its cultural variety and rich gold and silversmithing tradition.
Gracia discovered the magic of handmade work in his father's studio, being fascinated by the sublime art as well as the colour, brightness, texture and singular symbolism that precious stones brought to each piece. Through his work Gracia strives to communicate vitality, as he points out, the word "joya" meaning jewellery in Spanish aptly encompasses the main criteria for his creative enthusiasm.
Gracia is one of Spain's leading contemporary jewellers;celebrated in Vogue, receiving the national Jewellery Award as well as the International Jewellery Prize of the city of Valencia. His discerning client base includes Spanish Royal Family, Spanish institutions and collectors from around the world.
These earrings were inspired by the story of The Second Voyage of Sinbad the Sailor from The Book of One Thousand and One Nights or The Arabian Nights.
