Barbara Bui Bijoux: All Chained Up

PARIS, Nov 18, 2009 / FW/ — Continuing her good-girl-turned-bad approach to fashion, Barbara Bui took inspiration from the power of the chains, building the Barbara Bui Bijoux Atamé collection with the mantra, “stolen from a man’s world, real jewels for a woman.

Creating the collection in silver, Barbara Bui infused a rebellious seductress full of feminine allure that is partly soft, partly powerful, thus giving the jewelry an androgynous touch.

There is also ambivalence in the air; the attractive and poisonous snake is emblematic of danger. Its scales and loops twist and intermingle, mixing temptation with desire, with sensuality. Truly an original sin.

In the midst, a small emerald green stone, like a forbidden secret, adorns every piece in the collection.
Multi-strand necklaces, chain bracelets or grommets – each piece is unique worn alone or worn with each other.

From pure minimalism to glamorous maximalism, wear a single chain or pile them on according to your mood.
