HOW TO WEAR IT

ADDED VALUE

Spain and China meet thanks to the Carrera y Carrera maison, to create the \”Circles of Fire\” collection, and in these designs the Spanish passion gives life to one of the strongest and longest-lived symbols of the Chinese culture \”The Dragon\” ruler of water and time. Carrera y Carrera is a house with more than 130 years of jewelry tradition, and in this collection that is my favorite of the house, all the creations are loaded with such a strong symbolism, that it is really incredible that two countries of such different cultures, when they have come together in their art and beliefs they have a mutual artistic understanding, creating pieces that probably some think I exaggerate, but this collection is going to become legendary like the creations made by Cartier for María Félix, just to name one of many . The Dragon in China is a symbol of knowledge and strength, and therefore they are benevolent; the Spanish character admires the culture, the strength of the authority provided with gallantry and grace; I think this is the meeting point between these two cultures and this is what the Carrera y Carrera house understood about their muse. China the descendants of the dragon, how could they resist to not follow Spain ?, always alive and noble. Carrera y Carrera has the answer in its emblem \”…. and the wildest hearts never stop beating\”, and I would add: always found each other.
