ACQUA COLLECTION ACQ UA COLLECTION THE LUXURY ESSENTIALS Going back to basics, the source of life itself... Water is the inspiration of the ACQUA collection. All that it embodies: as the harbor of life, its power to cleanse, its power to transform... let’s elevate these qualities to create the essentials of luxury. BASALTO AQ01 BASALTO This volcanic rock is formed by the rapid cooling lava being washed by the lapping shores of the ocean. Thus solidifying time at the moment of its emergence onto the surface of our world. MEDUSA AQ02 MEDUSA The Gorgon monster Medusa, was said to have been slain by Perseus. As he laid the petrifying head beside the shore, Medusa’s blood spilled onto the seaweed, creating the corals that are of the Red Sea. VENUS AQ03 VENUS The goddess of physical and intellectual love, Venus was born of the sea. Arriving to shore by a seashell have come to symbolize the awakening and deliverance of the feminine psyche. LUNA AQ04 LUNA The goddess Luna is the divine embodiment of the moon. Her forces pulls on our oceans, giving us tides that shapes our shores each and every day. GLAUCUS AQ06 GLAUCUS Born a mortal fisherman, Glaucus ate a magical herb and achieved immortality; thus transforming him into a merman, where he will spend the rest of eternity in the sea. Stranded seafarers have said to have been rescued by the hand of Glaucus. MAREA AQ05 MAREA Opposing shores are subsequently washed by the same tide. High for one and low for the other. The sand marks its passage, as we wait for its return. OURANOS AQ07 OURANOS Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and love, was said to be born of sea foam, inseminated by Ouranos. He ruled the night sky, proving out of darkness love and beauty can be born. ASTROLABIO AQ08 ASTROLABIO Literally meaning ‘taking in the stars’, the astrolabe have guided sailors at night in an otherwise vast directionless ocean of darkness. The stars above have long showed us how to navigate our oceans and even our lives. ANTHEMUSA AQ09 ANTHEMUSA The island home of the Sirens, these mermaid creatures lure sailors, usually to their death, by navigating too close to the dangerous coastline. Their beauty was undeniable and at times irresistible. STRATA AQ10 STRATA Inner layers revealed through centuries of tidal caresses. Rock, sentiment, or drifting wood reveal an ulterior beauty, one of time washed by distant waters. NAIAD AQ11 NAIAD Nymphs of springs and rivers, these creatures are known to be playful and at times with a seductive yet dangerous beauty. They are possessive and jealous by nature. GHIACCIO Crystals from Swarovski® AQ13 GHIACCIO Ice is but one state of water; solid and crystalline in form and appearance. Prism-like, it captures light only to release again with a sparkle. ANEMONE AQ16 ANEMONE Named after their earthly counterparts, these creatures of beauty are decisively predacious. Petal-like tentacle carried by the reef current lures small prey in. Its beauty proves eternal, as some of the earliest fossils are that of the Anemone.
