Power objects are part of human history since time immemorial. From the oldest archaelogical finds to mobile phones, we always surrounded ourselves with objects that provide us with security and protection, that allow us to communicate at a distance (be it a physical distance or that which separates us from another, spiritual world) and that propitiate favourable events (at least in intention). A lot of those objects took the form of jewels, but not only.
We will travel to find protection objects and jewels in history and in various geographies, seeking to establish bridges with what happens in the 21st Century and in contemporary jewellery.
