Repossi’s geometric reverie at Los Angeles’s finest art gala

Repossi’s Serti sur Vide and Serti Inversé collections appeared at the fifteenth annual LACMA Art+Film Gala, that most cultured of Los Angeles evenings where the city’s aesthetic elite converge. The pieces on display embody the house’s philosophy of negative space as positive statement: diamonds and precious stones suspended not in solid metal but in geometrically precise voids, allowing light to penetrate and transform the jewellery into something approaching sculpture.

The Serti sur Vide collection operates on a principle that feels almost radical in its restraint. Rather than cling to the conventional armature of gold or platinum, the stones float within frameworks that prioritise air and transparency. Each setting becomes an exercise in architectural clarity, the stones arranged in grids and patterns that catch and refract light with surgical precision. The effect is one of weightlessness, of jewellery that adorns without burden.

The Serti Inversé collection inverts the traditional hierarchy entirely. Here, the stones are mounted from beneath, their facets visible from above in a configuration that challenges every assumption about how gems should be presented. The result feels contemporary without pretence, a conversation between Renaissance craftsmanship and twenty first century thinking.

Both collections represent Repossi’s investment in geometry as the ultimate luxury language. There is nothing extraneous, nothing decorative merely for decoration’s sake. What remains is pure proportion, pure light, and the kind of refined intelligence that only jewellery of genuine distinction can convey. At LACMA’s gathering of tastemakers and collectors, these pieces spoke the language that such an audience understands: that true elegance whispers rather than proclaims.
