Sculptural Jewellery by Bernard Rives

Sculptural jewellery by Bernard Rives

Bernard Rives’s jewellery brings his sculptural language to an intimate, personal scale. Movement, the human figure and the stylised lines that characterise his sculptures become pieces designed to be worn.

The collection brings together artist-designed sculptural pendants conceived as small three-dimensional works in which form, metal and light take centre stage.

From sculpture to jewellery

Each piece begins with an idea connected to Bernard Rives’s artistic universe. Figures in motion, intertwined bodies and stylised silhouettes become compositions that retain the identity of his sculpture while adapting it to a wearable format.

Jewellery inspired by movement and the human figure

Movement remains central. The Ethereal Leap evokes the lightness of a figure suspended in a leap; Spirit X interprets the expansion and energy of the body; FUSION centres on two intertwined figures; and Victory combines strength and balance.

Materials and finishes

The jewellery is made principally from worked and polished brass, with finishes that vary by design. The collection includes 18-carat gold, white-gold and silver finishes, two-tone combinations and, depending on the piece, elements such as silk cords.

Polished and reflective surfaces allow light to become part of the perception of each piece. Exact materials and characteristics are specified on the individual product page.

Handcrafted artist jewellery

The pieces are handcrafted and some are made to order. This process preserves the artistic character of each design and allows surfaces, polishing and finishes to be carefully worked. Some pieces may therefore require additional preparation time before shipping; the estimated timing is shown on each product page.

A Bernard Rives work to wear

These pieces are not conceived as a conventional accessory collection, but as an extension of Bernard Rives’s sculptural work. The scale changes, while the figure, movement, synthesis of form and search for balance remain.
