Direct from the streets of Florence, Italy, we present a new Pieces of Eight film.

For our latest exhibition, Alfabeto, friends and collaborators Anna Marrone & Seb Brown join forces to present a series of one-off signet rings, each representing a letter from the Italian alphabet. Combining Anna's clean, typography-based engravings inspired by the signage witnessed in Florence, with Seb's self-proclaimed 'rough' finesse, the duo combine old and new influences in an effort to recast the traditional signet ring in a contemporary context.

We followed this passionate duo through the streets of Florence in summer, as they learned traditional techniques and soaked up the vast history of this artistic city. The journey inspired their new jewellery collection for Pieces of Eight Gallery, which seeks to capture the essence of Italian culture and lifestyle.

Thanks to Julien Vannucchi for filming, George Katsalidis for editing and the artists for sharing their time.
