Matching jewels and clothes, moods and colours, is a taste game but not a simple play! 
I can’t absolutely question class and talent when thinking about Marta Roura Castellòthe Spanish architect, designer and goldsmith behind Transparent Scultpural Jewelry.

What’s in this choker? I feel study, passion, emotions and inspiration.

Marta and I, we never physically met, but it’s like she’s already met me since an immemorial time. During our interview, she explained how she develops her work.
Marta Roura Castellò individually focuses on her clients to create something able to magically fuse with people’s spirit and harmoniously with their silhouettes.
I love the colours that, starting from red, run through this spectrum in many different “direction”.
Marta combined some of them in this suave choker: the marsala red of the silk cord, the deep purple of the crystal teardrop, the shocking pink of the thread tassel and the relaxing lilac of the pendant beads.
She’s also put together materials with different textures and topped it with a precious and elegant reference to the Imperial Rome.

Whose, exactly? The photos should offer a clue.

He’s Trajan!

I wore this choker with a lime green sweater and a purple trench.

Then I created a look with one of the shade in this choker and just one versatile make-up product: a black cherry-toned Multistick by Bite Beauty in Cerise I swept onto my lips, blended onto my cheeks and applied to the inner corners of my eyes.

Here I’ve just played with colours, as an amateur or a child, Marta didn’t.
She captured my essence, something I’ve never talked about, I’m sure Marta Roura Castellò owns the exceptional crafting skills and, above all, a sensitivity out of the ordinary
