— THE PROJECT
Not gold.
Testimony.
ES is a creative, aesthetic, introspective and sensorial project. Every piece speaks — of the one who wears it, the hands that forge it, the world that makes it possible.
01
Ethical Gold
Fairmined 18kt certified gold, only. Traceable supply chain, responsible mines, fair-paid communities. No compromise.
02
Made in Venice
100% Italian handcraft. Every piece passes through the hands of our master goldsmiths in the Venetian atelier. Nothing outsourced.
03
One of a Kind
Every talisman is a unique piece. Numbered, signed, carrying its own story. We never forge the same object twice.
— UNIQUE PIECES
Timeless
talismans.
A selection of the pieces currently available. Every jewel is unique — once claimed, it leaves the catalogue forever.
— THE LINEAGE
Raised among
Botero, Indiana
and Mitoraj.
Riccardo Contini was born inside his father Stefano's contemporary art gallery — Contini Arte. A place where Fernando Botero, Robert Indiana and Igor Mitoraj lived side by side.
From that childhood he carries the idea that every object can tell a story larger than itself. And that true luxury is not display — it is meaning.
— ESSENCE · EAU DE PARFUM
Forged
in essence.
The olfactory extension of the project. Notes that speak of primordial Nature, of matter turning into gesture. A ritual, not a fragrance.
