Naples
While the late Annibale Oste made a name from himself as a visionary sculptor and designer, son Vincenzo wows aesthetes with his extraordinary jewellery design. Working predominantly in sterling silver, his pieces exude intense drama and energy, with sinuous, highly creative forms that render rings, bracelets and earrings as wearable sculptures worthy of a gallery plinth.
Prices start at around €180 for a ring and €240 for a pair of earrings.
