Rigid bracelet: the protagonist of summer 2025

Summer 2025 marks the return of the rigid bracelet, an iconic piece whose solid and monumental structure captures the essence of our gestures and movement.

On the runways of the SS 25 ready-to-wear collections, we saw it worn effortlessly over blazers and blouses, either individually or stacked on wrists and forearms.

Its sculptural form becomes a tangible expression of ideas, emotions, and stories that merge with the body and the individual who wears it, much like the fluid lines presented by Chiarelli, the refined geometry of Peruffo, and the visual richness of Terzihan.

Chiarelli's bracelet, crafted in 18-carat rose gold and adorned with diamonds, is a tribute to the natural beauty of the olive tree. Its twisted branches, rough bark, and lush foliage are translated into a precious language that celebrates the harmony between life and nature.

Peruffo, on the other hand, embraces a minimalism that dares to explore the boundary between the simple and the sublime. The rigid bracelets in yellow gold, featuring geometric shapes and diamonds, pay homage to the purity of lines and the sophistication of design. The stones, with their crystalline brightness, enhance the balance of the geometries without overwhelming them.

In contrast, Terzihan presents a bracelet that speaks of artistic opulence. The Art Nouveau-inspired creation is a work of art that tells a visual story, composed of swirling motifs and sinuous lines reminiscent of masterpieces from an era when art seamlessly blended with daily life.
