British-Italian jewellery designer Sarah Ysabel Narici brings a futuristic frisson to her New York brand Dyne. This year saw her launch its first contemporary jewellery collection, which encompasses sinuous forms and cabochon-cut precious stones in vivid blues and greens.
‘My design is bold, sometimes dramatic, with a focus on detailed craftsmanship,’ says Narici. ‘I like combining fluid shapes and juxtaposing them with precise, structured ones. This not only applies to the form of the metals, but also to the cuts of stones I use. Mixing colours and textures is increasingly important for me. I like blending the large watery surfaces of transparent stones with the rough, glittering textures of small ones, which are punctuated by metal prongs. The way in which light interacts with all these surfaces is very appealing.’
