PLATONIC Jewels
Henry River’s PLATONIC jewelry follows a four-step artisanal process: 3D drawing, 3D printing, lost-wax silver casting, and polishing. Plato associated them with the five elements of nature, and in the Italian and European Renaissance, they were studied by mathematicians and artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Albrecht Dürer. These jewels represent a deep connection with nature, celebrating the geometric and symbolic beauty of the Platonic solids and their relationship with the primordial elements: Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and the Fifth Element. Wearing Platonic jewelry is a way to carry a part of history, philosophy, mathematics, and art with you, while appreciating the intrinsic beauty of nature.
