Sculpture Jewelry: the Emotional Embrace of ForEverHug Me
They are true works of art that can not only be admired, but also worn: these are the sculpture jewelry pieces of the ForEverHug Me collection, signed by Daverio1933 and created by Luca Daverio, sculptor of jewels of the brand. His passion for jewelry design elevates this high jewelry line, raising his creations to true miniature sculptures.
Sculpture and Jewelry, a Family Tradition
Luca Daverio has been a jewel designer since the 1980s, when he learned metalworking techniques and began experimenting with his creative flair at the school of his father Franco, sculptor and eclectic artist. From the beginning, his creations showed great technical skill combined with creativity and innovation. Thus were born his collections of sculpture jewelry with strong sculptural inspiration, which show both deep research on metals and precious stones, and the contemporary interpretation of traditional techniques.
The passion for jewelry combines with that for sculpture, with important recognition in the art world. In 2022, in fact, Luca Daverio’s works were exhibited at the Ceribelli Gallery in Bergamo on the occasion of the exhibition “Multiversi“. Among the protagonists of this exhibition were also his sculptures inspired by the symbol that runs through the entire ForEverHugMe collection, the embrace.

The resin and acrylic sculpture “Birth of an embrace” represents the origin of the most precious matter, diamonds (created in the work with resin prisms), from the depths of the Earth, symbolized by the paint at the base of the sculpture, thanks to the vital force of the universe.
In the same way, from the depths of the soul is born the feeling of attraction and love that manifests itself in the gesture of the embrace and that guided Luca Daverio in designing this collection. The sculpture indeed recalls the emergence from matter of the forms of the iconic pendant of ForEverHug Me.

ForEverHug Me, Symbolic and Emotional Sculpture Jewelry
Already in the name, which means “hug me forever”, the ForEverHugMe collection recalls the distinctive feature of the collection: a symbolic and emotional embrace between metals and precious stones.
The embrace is expressed through a precise balance of forms and volumes, with curved lines that chase each other to create the different elements of the jewelry and unite them in a harmonious, yet dynamic whole, that goes beyond the aesthetic canons of traditional jewelry to create, precisely, true sculpture jewelry.
To these is added a particular use of chromatic combinations between the different colors of gold and precious stones, to further enhance the materiality of these creations.
The Iconic Pieces of the Collection
The ForEverHug Me line comprises about thirty sculpture jewelry pieces and is continuously evolving. To the first iconic “pieces”, the pendant and the ring, new versions of the same jewelry and other models, such as bracelets, have been added over time. The collection is destined to expand further with new creations.
The Pendant
This jewelry piece fully represents the symbolic embrace that distinguishes the entire collection. The pendant features a curvilinear form at the center, with white and black diamonds, which joins six elements, also united among themselves, with fancy color diamonds ranging from green to blue, to cognac and brown. It is made in different shades of gold and fancy color diamonds, for different chromatic effects.
A reinterpretation of this pendant maintains the same forms, but more elongated, with an even more dynamic effect, accentuated by satin white gold and enamel inserts. In this version, presented at the Multiversi exhibition in 2022, the ForEverHug Me pendant was worn this year by Dutch model Yasmin Verheijen at the 81st Venice Film Festival, on the occasion of the Women in Cinema Award.
The Ring
The iconic ring of the collection features three curved forms that embrace the central element and is available in different variants: from the warm shades of rose gold, white and brown diamonds and orange sapphires, to the contrast between white and black (with white gold, brilliants and black diamonds), up to the most unusual effect that combines rose gold, fancy color diamonds and brilliants.
The ring has also been reinterpreted in a new version that, like the pendant, is characterized by elongated and dynamic forms. Contributing to create this effect are the enameled inserts, which emerge among brown diamonds, brilliants and orange sapphires, on the rose gold setting.
The Bracelet
Finally, the bracelet, another piece of great impact from this collection. This jewelry piece is composed of a pavé of 2,000 fancy color diamonds and brilliants, set under a microscope, in the Valenza laboratory of the Daverio1933 brand directed by Luca Daverio.
The ForEverHug Me collection will be presented by Daverio1933 at Vicenza Oro, on the occasion of the edition that will take place from January 17 to 21, 2025.
