"Bud, full bloom, and a quiet demise. The story of a single rose, 'Une Vie,' is engraved at your feet."
【Concept: Une Vie】
The model name, 'Une Vie,' means "one life" in French.
With this piece, PECORA depicts the true nature of the rose, a fact that the jewelry world has long turned a blind eye to.
■ Bud: The shape of a new beginning, encapsulating hidden energy.
■ Bloom: The peak of a proud, blooming flower in perfect balance.
■ Withered: The ultimate end, burning out its life, drying up, decaying, yet still noble.
Rose jewelry, so prevalent in the world, is merely a still image of a single moment in full bloom. However, the essence of life's beauty lies in the brutal reality of the moment when a flower buds, blooms, and withers.
The design of a withered rose. This unique endeavor is PECORA's response to the dreary aesthetic of existing designs.
【Design & Craftsmanship】
"Unprecedented Details of the End"
To recreate the unique curling and curling of withered petals, as well as the delicate expression of the moment when moisture is released and life is condensed, we examined a real withered rose under a microscope and carved it from scratch.
The overwhelming uniqueness of the coexistence of three different time periods in one piece will transform your feet from mere decoration into a work of art.
【Body Color & Material】
■ Solid Silver
"Unadorned. A solid lump of silver that grows with time."
We purposefully left out any coating, bringing out the true beauty of sterling silver (Silver 925).
The unmistakable whiteness of pure silver is a testament to the artisan's polishing technique.
The more you wear them, the more the sculpted cleavage darkens like tarnished silver, enhancing their three-dimensionality. Enjoy the aging process, a privilege exclusive to this solid model.
■ Royal Gold
"Not brass. A truly profound feeling of gold clad in silver."
This is fundamentally different in quality from the brass-based gold plating used in inexpensive jewelry.
The base is made of precious sterling silver (Silver 925).
A thick "18K gold coating" is applied on top of that.
The distinctive weight and sinking weight of silver is felt the moment you hold it in your hand. This "classic shine" eliminates the casual feel of sneakers and gives them a luxurious look.
■ Phantom Black
"A triple layer of darkness, hiding gold beneath the black."
This jet-black shine is not just a paint job. To achieve the ideal color, we adopted an unconventional "triple layer" construction.
- Base: An overwhelming amount of sterling silver (Silver 925)
- Middle: A luxurious gold coating is applied to the base.
- Top: Finally, the rare metal ruthenium is electrically bonded to it.
By using gold as an invisible base, the color of the ruthenium finish is maximized.
This color symbolizes PECORA's commitment to using two precious metals (gold and ruthenium) in a lavish manner, regardless of cost.
