Venezia. Gualti’s small and exciting boutique just off Campo Santa Margherita is one of my favorite stores in the world. He creates incredible futuristic looking jewelry with surgical colored resins, as well as, stoles in pleated silk taffeta or in flannel on wires that bend to your fantasy. Gualti defines his creations as: POETIC IMPRESSIONS PRECIOUS HARMONIES - ORNAMENTS FOR THE BODY AND SOUL - ENCHANTED WORLDS - EXTENSIONS FOR THE BODY SCINTILLATING RARITIES - SPECTACULAR JEWEL SCULPTURES - ROOTS RISING UP FROM DEEP WITHIN

And, more definitions: SEEDS OF LIGHT - EXPRESSIONS OF INTENSE EMOTION - CREATURES FROM UNEXPLORED ABYSSES - JEWEL SCULPTURES - INTENSE EMOTIONS - SHOOTING STARS - FIREWORKS IN A SUMMER NIGHT SKY - LIGHT RECEPTORS - CRACKLING BURSTS OF LIGHT - HARMONIES OF LIGHT - TRANSPARENT CREATURES.


Custom hand-made silk satin evening shoes and clutch can be ordered from a choice of one hundred and twenty colors.
