A luscious visual celebration of Fabio Salini’s bold and innovative jewellery designs
After more than 20 years as a groundbreaking figure in the jewellery world, Fabio Salini showcases his incredible designs in a debut monograph. This luxe volume shines a light on his bold, expressive pieces, highlighting their materiality – Salini works not only with precious gems, but also leather, shagreen, titanium, and carbon fibre – and their context within the history of jewellery. With illuminating text by Vivienne Becker, Fabio Salini: Rebel Jeweller is a striking testament to Salini’s dynamic expression of twenty-first century modernism in jewels.
Fabio Salini is widely recognised as one of the world’s most innovative designer jewellers, a master of modernism. Born and raised in Rome, Salini studied geology and gemology at the University of Rome and worked for Cartier and Bulgari before launching his own collection in 1999. He has exhibited around the world at prestigious jewellery and art fairs and consults extensively on important gemstone acquisitions and collaborative design projects with leading luxury brands and international artists.
