Marco Magro

April 30, 2010, Leina Neima, Comments: 0

I just LOVE beautiful jewelry – there are so many shiny trinkets, which make my inner magpie feeling happy.

 

But the truth is, that some artists feel closer to heart than others – that’s what happened to me when I first saw Marco Magro´s indescribably beautiful jewelry. It is hard to say, what exactly was this magical thing - which enchanted me?

 

His art just looks and feels so different – unique and rich in details and meanings. Most of his jewelry keep me thinking, that they are living beings and have their own soul and personality. I haven’t felt like this before in reference to jewelry.

 

But pictures are better than thousand words, so please discover his art by yourselves!
