Many & Deliberated

A student of goldsmithing and artistic jewellery since the age of fifteen, Portuguese artisan Patrícia Domingues has progressively honed her craft with rare stones. Her internationally acclaimed designs often emulate the rich natural landscape. This small pendant stone reflects a landscape sculpted by the ravages of nature and time. Applying a controlled process of fragmentation and reconstruction to one of the planet’s most sought-after gemstones, Domingues creates countless nuances that are almost imperceptible. The celestial blue colour of the lapis lazuli stone has intrigued humanity for thousands of years as a universal symbol of wisdom and truth. This fragmented process, which embraces the rhythm of separation and reunification, creates a microcosm and metaphor of the earth’s transforming terrain.
