Never Is a Promise FW13/14

"Never is a Promise and You cannot afford to lie"..it's a quote from a Fiona Apple's song that I always loved, and it explains perfectly the deepest meaning of body art , from which this collection takes inspiration.
I have looked at tattoo pop art, tribal and eastern cultures, and their use of body embellishment. I like to use symbolism in my work as I think jewellery always need to be linked to a inner meaning and remind you of a person, a place or a particular time in your life"
Maria Francesca Pepe, Jewellery Designer.

Tattoo art, Indian spiritualism, tribal symbolism and moon phases are the main themes of this elegant and innovative jewellery collection, which mixes punk, tribal, gothic chic and luxury in perfect balance. Red and black enamel mixed with blue and purple crystals define tribal tattoo inspired stripes and evil eye motiv over MFP's signature sleek graphic shapes; studs mix with white pearls and vintage looking resin create a Nineties appeal.The range is entirely made in Italy to the highest quality standard despite the highly competitive prices.It's the perfect match of edgy and classy, gothic and chic, rock and roll and sophisticated.Jewellery by MFP-Maria Francesca Pepe
