Designer biography:

I am Kleo Glens, a goldsmith artisan born in 1992 in Bologna. I attended a three-year degree at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in painting and a unique course in Jewelry at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ravenna. Last year 2024 I participated with the first collection "Psyko Ram" in a collective exhibition at the Galleria Rossini in Milan for a Contest on Contemporary Jewelry third edition and at the Romanian Jewelry Week in Bucharest for the fifth edition. My art comes from the hands and the heart. My work is expressed through jewelry, a medium that I consider a true form of language. Each creation is a journey that starts from my deep sense of aesthetics and sustainability, with particular attention to the use of recovered materials and their transformation into unique and meaningful pieces. For me, jewelry is an expression of time and emotions, something that goes beyond the simple accessory, becoming a part of the wearer and a symbol of their individuality.

Collection concept: PROFUMO – The Memory of Nature and Technology

Profumo collection explores the encounter between the natural and technological worlds, where each jewel contains a profound symbolism and a scent that awakens the soul. Each piece is a tribute to the essence of the elements and planets, while the memory of electronic circuits intertwines with the ancestral strength of nature. Each jewel is a unique piece, with a setting of natural, black and scented rattan wood, which acts as a diffuser for essential oils, symbolizing the harmony between man and nature. The stone, linked to a planet, is kept in a geometric structure that recalls the perfection and strength of the universe. The silver and brass, worked with engraved technological symbols, tell the dialogue between the roots of the earth and the growing technological advancement. Each silver thread that binds the jewel symbolizes the roots, deeply connected to memory and universal knowledge.
