Catch of the Day is one of our most popular pieces. Multiple bronze fish pendants hang from an adjustable tan cord. A beautifully detailed and whimsical necklace.
The Pesci che Volano jewellery collection is handmade using the ancient lost-wax
casting method in a small atelier in Florence, Italy.
For the past 20 years, its team of designers and craftsmen has strived to maintain
their natural creative process and a timeless taste for essential forms.
The bronze used to produce the jewellery pieces gives them a rustic, antique feel
while their intricate details bear some resemblance to Etruscan works.
Unique symbols are hand carved into each individual piece while irregularities and
imperfections ensure no two designs are exactly the same.
This collection of statement rings, earrings, bracelets and pendants combines bronze
with materials including ebony and silver to create an ornate, yet understated style.
Being an alloy made of copper and tin, bronze possesses the desirable
characteristics of both these metals. The skin’s natural oils help maintain its deep,
rich colour and gloss over time.
The name Pesci Che Volano (‘flying fish’), was inspired by a triptych altarpiece
painted by Dutch draughtsman Hieronymus Bosch, where human figures ride flying
fish. This image is a metaphor for the triumph of fantasy over reality and a constant
reminder of the need to set our imagination free.
Pesci Che Volano’s jewellery is created using the ancient lost-wax method – a creative technique dating back over 5000 years and still used in design production today. It involves several steps, from carving a design out of wax through to filling, grounding and sandblasting each jewellery piece into a distinctive and ornate design. Unique symbols are then hand carved into each individual piece while irregularities and imperfections ensure no two are exactly the same.
Once found its wearer, each piece will take on its own lustre and individual patterns and markings depending on who wears them, making the jewellery as much a part of their story as that of its creators. The skin’s natural oils help maintain its deep, rich colour and gloss over time.
Made in Italy.
Care Instructions – Clean your jewellery with mild soap and rub it to take out any dirt that has accumulated. Rinse it with water and dry it using a towel.
Bronze and silver jewellery may tarnish with time and wear. You can restore its original, shiny look by removing the patina with a mix of 2 to 3 tablespoons of baking soda and lemon juice. Rub the paste onto your jewellery using a cloth or a toothbrush until the item is clean – then rinse it and dry it with a cloth. If the patina is persistent, you might need to repeat the process. You can also soak the piece in vinegar for about 20 minutes before cleaning it.
