Giampaolo Babetto explores a modernistic aesthetic in gold. To achieve a distinctive colour and subtle texture he prepares the alloy (the mixture of the metals) according to his personal recipe.
His bracelet looks like a piece from a monumental building. It is a study in architectural space, mathematics and the rules of classical proportion.
