Diamonds, Emeralds, and Precious Gold: The Materials of the BLAST Collection
The palette of materials chosen for the BLAST collection reflects Repossi's absolute standards. Each piece is designed to offer a subtle dialogue between structure and brilliance. Gold, in its noblest versions—rose gold, black gold, and white gold—serves as a structural foundation. This choice of metals is not arbitrary: it allows for playing with temperature contrasts, offering warm and cool nuances that adapt to the light and the wearer's skin.
Precision is the watchword when it comes to integrating precious stones into this metallic architecture. White diamonds, selected for their purity, are crafted in multiple cuts, with a preference for the pear cut, which brings a singular visual dynamism. To these crystalline sparkles are added yellow diamonds, which infuse a luminous, almost solar warmth into the compositions. The introduction of emeralds, also crafted in pear cut, marks a major evolution. With the "Splash of Colors" chapter launched in 2026, Repossi elevates color to the rank of an architectural component: it no longer merely decorates, it structures the space of the jewel, creating bold visual harmonies that redefine the perception of volume.
Exceptional Craftsmanship: Eiffel Tower Setting and Mirror Polishing
Behind every BLAST jewel lies high-level handiwork, carried out in the brand's workshops. Creativity meets infinite patience, an indispensable virtue for achieving perfection. The complexity of certain pieces, such as the Plastron Necklace, is such that it requires up to 250 hours of workshop time. This long duration guarantees a quality that defies time.
The brand's signature technique, the"Eiffel Tower" setting,is undoubtedly the most fascinating element of this collection. Through this process, the stones literally appear to be weightless, freed from any visible setting, as if they were naturally floating on the gold thread. To perfect this illusion, mirror polishing is applied to every metallic surface. This extreme care allows the jewel to capture light from all angles, enhancing the deep brilliance of the gold and the vibrancy of the stones. It is this combination of technical and artisanal prowess that propels the BLAST collection to the pinnacle of modern jewelry.
Iconic Pieces: Cuff, Plastron Necklace, and BLAST Spiral Ring
The BLAST collection stands out with flagship creations that push the boundaries of conventional jewelry, transforming the jewel into a mobile sculpture.
The BLAST Cuff: This piece embodies the mastery of movement. The continuous gold thread wraps around the wrist in a perfect spiral, set with diamonds totaling 6.77 carats. Beyond its spectacular aesthetic, it is designed to embrace the body's natural movements, offering absolute comfort.
The BLAST Plastron Necklace: A true technical feat, this monumental creation is the emblematic jewel of the collection. Requiring 250 hours of work, it embodies Repossi's ambition to make jewelry a sculptural work for the neck.
The BLAST Spiral Ring: This piece perfectly illustrates the concept of suspension. A 1.92-carat pear-cut diamond appears to float in space thanks to the Eiffel Tower setting, supported by bold volumes traced by the curve of the gold thread.
