Fashion File Interview

Lynne and I are doing an interview series called "The Fashion Files."

My interview with David Giulietti, a local jewelry designer who does hand engraving, is the first of these fashion insider interviews. Please have a front row seat and enjoy the interview. AnnamarieDavid Giulietti: I was at a London wedding and there was a woman who had a really nice, modern dress on, and a beautiful bracelet that I think was two thousandthirteen hundred years old, twenty four carat gold, a giant piece of metal like a twisted braid with goats heads on each end. and there was no way that you could not see it from across the room and think that she was the average woman. The piece certainly wasn't average; it had that magical power to it. No matter when you wore it throughout timethat piece was great, it wasn't dependent on the time period to work. It still had all that power. So, that's what I shoot for that my jewelry will work a hundred, even a thousand years from now and it would work in the Pharaohs's time if you wanted to wear it then. I like jewelry to have power and punch, but also intimacy. That's the thing with engraving. People get pulled into the small details. I design so that it feels really good to the wearer and they enjoy wearing it.

Annamarie: What attracted you to engraving as opposed to another way of embellishing jewelry?

David: I got into engraving because it was a very direct way and because I like to have a lot of control over what I do. Engraving is a really intimate way to work with the metal. You can work with the metal and really get to know it in a different way. I can feel [the metal] like I'm playing a violin; like a musical instrument. I can work directly on the metal and any idea I have I can put it on the metal.

Annamarie: How long have you been doing engraving?

David: I've been doing engraving full time since 1985. I've been involved in artwork and metalwork my whole life. I earned a degree in sculpture and fine arts. Then, I worked putting together big art bronze sculptures in a foundry. I went from there to a guitar company down in San Luis Obispo that made metal body guitars. I ran their metal department. That led to engraving because they wanted to reproduce these old traditional styles, but they couldn't find anybody that could do it. So, I got two tools from a friend of mine who had tried to do it. He said, "It's your birthday today, so I'll let you buy these tools off of me." I bought the two tools, the two first chisels, and I went into the garage and started playing around."

Annamarie: What would be your suggestions for someone who wants to create different looks for an outfit using jewelry? Is there some really show stopping way of wearing it?

David: It seems like right now, one of the things is big replica Cartier jewelry price show stopping pieces: large pendant necklaces; things that draw a lot of attention that either use a lot of metal or large stones. One of the things that really makes [a piece] show stopping is the design, a really well thought out aesthetic. Especially in urban areas, people are a lot more visually sophisticated. They see good design as more important than a display of wealth or power like jewelry can be. In the city, people are more interested in subtler ideas, more fashion and more art, more high design.

Annamarie: What would your recommendations be for a black dress, if someone wanted to create a really beautiful look for it?

David: It seems like what I see going on and what I'm interested in, is the use of black metals: oxidized silvers and blackened steel and combining that with yellow golds and high carat golds and small gemstones, it's so elegant and it has the contrast between the gold and the black, not flashy, but beautiful. It's eye catching and it's a clean elegant style.

Annamarie: And what would your suggestions be for jeans and a T shirt?

David: The feeling is more youthful big ethnic and tribal styles are really great with jeans and a T shirt; a really good way to go. And big stones, like cabochons. I really like the rough stones, things that have a lot of flaws and aren't perfectly clean, odd shapes and a lot of the softer colors. Non precious stones, like chalcedony {a light green, pink, blue or lavender stone that is translucent, but not transparent} and [varied] colors (the red, blue, and white that imitation Cartier love bracelets price you see with rubies, diamonds), and sapphires, turquoises, chrysoprase {a light green, translucent chalcedony}, and different Peruvian opals. When you get into large pieces that have a lot of elemental power like that it feels really good. An old Cartier piece wouldn't really be right with jeans and a T shirt but, if you get something big, heavy with a high carat gold like a twenty two carat gold with a nice earthy stone that can be really beautiful in a ring. With jeans and a T shirt, it seems that rings and earrings are like the main accessories that really work because they're most visible, they're right on top. A brooch isn't really going to work with a T shirt. Pendants and necklacesit could be subtle and small and that could work, but I think big is not going to play [as well] with a T shirtmaybe a choker instead.

Annamarie: What is your favorite piece and why?

David: That's a good question. What I'm working on at the time is my favorite piece generally. And then, instantly, as soon as I'm done with it, it's replaced by the next piece. Right now, I'm working on sterling silver that is oxidized with green chalcedony and hand engraving and the engraving is gold and I just love the way it looks and feels. (I wasn't able to get pictures of this piece because it sold before David had a chance to take pictures of it. However, he has promised to send pictures of future work, so please check copy Cartier love bracelets 1:1 back for posts.) You know, it's very exciting and it seems like a really great fusion of contemporary shapes and forms with classical ornamentation on the top. I like that fusion. I think it's very current in the high fashion world. Those are my favorite pieces right now.

Annamarie: Sounds like an answer that I would give if someone fake Cartier love bracelets buy asked me, "What is your favorite thing?" What is the feeling behind your jewelry?

David: My work has a lot of punch and it's very forward. You can really see it from across the room or far away as being different. I think the thing that "makes it" is that it's also very intimate. When you own the piece or get near the piece or really look at it, it has a lot of small details that really pull you in. It's something that you never get tired of looking at it or playing with it. And then, that has sort of a magical quality to it, magical the way that if you picked up a piece of gold. I build a piece around whatever it is that the customer is interested in. It could be around a family stone, or if they want something for a specific event. For many, it seems like a "phase of life," people are at a point in their lives where they just want something to make that moment crystallize. We come up with sketches and I sit down with the customer. I'm really good at drawing out ideas onto paper and jiggling them around until they become the thing that we want to make.
