A GOLD, SILVER AND RECYCLABLE PLASTIC 'ACHILLEA' COCKTAIL RING, 2020BY MAGHERITA BURGENER & ENRICA BORGHIOf floral design, composed of flowerheads, the petals in pink and green recyclable plastic, gold pistils, mounted on silver, with maker's mark MB for Margherita Burgener, with maker's recyclable plastic box, ring size L½ (52)Enrica Borghi and Emanuela Burgener's Achillea: Sustainable luxury"I started working with waste/recycled materials in the late 90s, then there was a burgeoning interest in the environment and ecology" recalls the Italian artist Enrica Borghi "What most attracted me to plastic was the explosion of colours used in plastic packaging, it still fascinates me to this day". Italian artist Enrica Borghi shot to fame in the late 90s with her striking sculptures created from novel materials - fake nails, plastic bottles and even on occasion kitchen rags. For 30 years sustainability and the reuse of material has been central to Borghi's artistic creations which inspires a thought-provoking commentary on the reimagined beauty of such objects and what is considered 'waste' in today's society. "there is something inherently fragile to plastic" recounts Enrica "plastic only remains in our homes for a brief moment in time before being thrown out, discarded".The relationship between the artist Borghi and recycled materials is one that spans four decades and takes centre stage in her latest collaboration with Italian jewellery maker Emanuela Burgener and her brand Margherita Burgener.Margherita Burgener Jewellery is the brainchild of Italian designer Emanuela Burgener, who dedicated her creations to her eldest daughter Margherita, born in 2003. Burgener creates limited edition and one-of-a-kind pieces which she produces along with her team in her workshop in Valenza founded by the grandfather. The exquisite craftmanship and uniqueness of Margherita Burgener Jewellery has landed the brand a spot amongst top jewellery designers. Both Borghi and Burgener were born in the same small village of Macugnaga, at the foot of Monte Rosa in Northern Italy. Their professional partnership allowed Borghi and Burgener to revisit their childhood memories and draw from their shared environment growing up when exploring new design concepts. Inspiration for the new jewellery line 'Achillea' was found in shared recollections of hiking in the nearby mountains to harvest the flower Achillea (Yarrows in English). Achillea tells a story, a dialogue between artisanal tradition, precious metals, everyday materials, sustainably and the love for the environment. Although Enrica has been crafting jewellery out of recycled materials for years, collaborating with Emanuela presented a unique opportunity to explore her ambition to combine waste materials and precious metals: "the idea of creating a dialogue with precious material was extremely exciting for me, Emanuela's laboratory was the perfect environment for this project to blossom". Through this partnership, recycled materials are elevated and become precious, sustainability become luxury, and the discarded past becomes the beautiful present.We are delighted to offer two examples from the Achillea line in this May Fine Jewellery and Watch Auction: the Fiordaliso earclips and the Achilllea ring. The deep cornflower blue in the Fiordaliso earclips is obtained from the repurposing of PET plastic bottles; the earclips (pictured above) were created using a key material in Emanuela's production - Titanium, as well as gold and diamonds. The use of plastic to mimic the outburst of blue petals typical of cornflowers is incredibly smart, and the clever usage of precious materials such as gold and diamonds alongside the PET bottles furthers the core concept which asks us to think about what is considered precious today. The Achillea ring, is a delicate example fashioned out of PET plastic, gold and silver (pictured below). The bush-like nature of the Achillea flower lends itself to the creation of a striking ring like this, designed with multiple focus points. materials. The effect of the recycled plastic materials is visible in the pastel pink and green hues. Every flower head is beautifully crafted with a gold button in the centre of each bud, perfectly placed in order to create a sense of rooted fragility. The collision of the natural world with the discarded man-made world is perfectly embodied in this beautiful piece and is a wonderful resurrection and celebration of these materials.
