"Don't call them simple caps, but Crowns"
Each crown is the result of skilled artisans who invest their time and energy to transform recycled materials into authentic works of art. Their skills and dedication are what bring these crowns to life; and the end result is much more than just a cover for a perfume bottle. They are precious custodians of fragrances; they are also expressions of creativity and passion. The creative process that gives life to these crowns is full of experimentation, in which no limit is set to just one material, but multiple elements are experimented with, which merge, embrace and alternate, helping to create unique and fascinating works.
Diversity
PrismaNero crowns are the essence of diversity, where each customer shapes their own jewel with the melody of their soul. In this dance of creativity, each crown becomes a fragment of oneself, an enchanted reflection of one's personality, an unmistakable signature of one's being.
Hallmark of the year:
A distinctive element of these crowns is the stamping of the year of creation, applied by hand on each piece. A personalized touch that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
An unmistakable melody
Each crown is part of a chapter, which is expressed in a series of styles and feelings, each with its own unmistakable melody. Like well-known instruments in an orchestra, these crowns intertwine, creating a harmony that speaks directly to the heart and soul of those who choose them. In each crown, it has a story, a feeling, its own voice.
Curiosity:
The word Art derives from the Greek term αρτεμης artemês, "safe", "safe" or αρτεμια artemia, "recovery", "recovery", both coming from ἄρτιος artios, "complete", "perfect", "healthy". Artemis, Goddess of the Moon and hunting, twin sister of Apollo, equivalent to the Roman Diana, is associated with art. Artemis is called Trivia both because she was venerated under the three forms corresponding to the three lunar phases (Selene in heaven, Artemis on earth and Hecate in the underworld) and because her images were often placed at the intersection of three roads. During the classical era in Athens she was further identified with Hecate. The following were sacred to the goddess: the deer, the fallow deer, the hare, the quail, the bear, the dog, the cypress and the laurel. Some of the epithets by which Artemis was called:
Agrotera - meaning "Rural". Agròtis (Αγρότις), rural, huntress; Anùmpheutos - (Άνύμφευτος) "Without marriage" Asulòs - "inviolable"; Basileia - "The Sovereign"; Brimò - (Βριμώ), "The terrible" Drumonia - "La Silvestre"; Elaphêbolos - "She who wounds deer Ghiunaia - (Γυναία), "protector of female beings".
“LIVING WOOD” SERIES
Sometimes, the beauty of the most precious things hides behind an apparent simplicity. At first glance, this collection might seem ordinary and devoid of lavish ornamentation. However, it is precisely in this simplicity that its extraordinary richness lies. The crowns of the "LEGNO VIVO" series are made with recycled wood, a tangible example of how creativity can give new life to what would otherwise be considered waste. The wood used in these creations is destined for pulping or landfill, but here it finds a second chance, a new life. This recovery process is much more than an ecological practice; it is an act of respect for tradition and a profound meaning of understanding. Each piece of wood has a story, brings with it its past experiences, its growth, its grain and transmits a connection with nature itself and the world around us. The processing of these materials requires dedication, and the art of transforming them into crowns becomes a tribute to the artisan tradition. This collection teaches us that beauty can be found in contemplation and simplicity, even in the least obvious places, even the dirtiest ones, and that work done with love can transform what seems "simple" into something truly precious. It is an invitation to look beyond appearances and discover the beauty hidden in everything. If you want to delve deeper into the symbolism hidden behind the "Legno Vivo" series
"THE HAND OF GOD IS MY FAVORITE ARTIST"
Materiali:
These crowns are made entirely by hand, using various types of wood coming from processing waste or recovered from various places. There could be wood coming from a landfill, up to those recovered from old wooden beams of abandoned houses. The use of these recycled woods gives each wreath a unique story, preserving the natural grain and nuances of the wood. In this series you will find many essences, from Fir, to Olive, Wengè, Walnut, Aphromosia, Paduk, Iroko, Kavarzingo, Chestnut, Oak, Oak, Birch, Pine.
Punzonatura dell'anno:

A personalized touch that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
Dopo la lavorazione del legno fatta rigorosamente a mano, ogni corona viene sottoposta a un processo di finitura superficiale. La combinazione di gommalacca e cera d'api viene applicata con precisione per proteggere il legno e per dare alla superficie un aspetto lucido o semilucido. Queste finiture conservano la bellezza naturale del legno, consentendo alle venature e alle sfumature di emergere in tutto il loro splendore
Curiosity:
Si pensa che il Sacro Graal, la coppa nella quale Gesù bevve durante l’ultima cena e che Giuseppe D’Arimatea usò per raccogliere le gocce di sangue del Cristo crocifisso, fosse fatta di legno di Olivo. L'olivo è stato considerato un albero simbolico e sacro in molte culture antiche, incluso il cristianesimo, ed è spesso associato a simbolismo di pace, vita eterna e spiritualità. La sua longevità e la capacità di sopravvivere per secoli hanno contribuito a questa connessione. Al centro di noi stessi, risiede l’Ulivo, distillatore dell’oro verde, fuoco vegetale, sostanza alchemica di trasformazione.
“MOON” SERIES
The "MOON" series features distinctive beauty and craftsmanship with a touch of contemporary artistic decoration. Works inspired by the moon and its undisputed charm. Its wounds, its craters are something unique. A femininity capable of protecting us, but also of hiding its dark side. A unique work of art, complex and full of mysterious beauty. The ripples add depth and complexity to the hand-carved wood. Each scratch tells a story, bringing with it the unique character of each piece. This touch gives these crowns an organic, twisted and mellow appearance underlining the craftsmanship behind their creation.
Materials:
These crowns are made entirely by hand, using various types of wood coming from processing waste or recovered from various places. There could be wood coming from a landfill, up to those recovered from old wooden beams of abandoned houses and churches. The use of these recycled woods gives each wreath a unique story, preserving the natural grain and nuances of the wood.
Metal identification plate:
A distinctive element of these crowns is a bronze metal plate bearing an identifying number, applied by hand to each piece. A touch of sophistication that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
After the wood is worked by means of mechanical scratching or gouges, the wood is burned with fire, forming incandescent craters which are then quenched by water mordant. Each crown is then subjected to a surface finishing process using enamel paint. Here the various combinations of colors and effects bring the work to completion. Each crown then goes through a surface finishing process, where an enamel paint is applied. At this stage, the various combinations of colors and effects come to life, completing the work. The final appearance of each crown can vary, with the possibility of glossy, semi-gloss or matte finishes, based on the techniques used and the personal vision of the craftsman who creates them. This artisanal process gives PrismaNero crowns a unique beauty and complexity
Curiosity:
The Sun has always been represented as active creative energy, the masculine and creative principle of the Universe. But the Sun alone can do nothing, and that is why it needs its female counterpart, the Moon. It has always been associated with magic and mystery due to its symbolic duplicity, induced by the presence of a dark side that is never shown to man. Thus the symbolism of this Crown represents an internal struggle to bring to the attention of the conscience which as a mother nourishes, welcomes, encloses and protects but, at the same time, controls and creates dependence in those who are subject to it, leveraging the weaknesses of the masculine, which secretly tends to devalue, opposing the path of liberation of the soul of the men who fall within its sphere of action.
“BLACK OCEAN” SERIES
The "BLACK OCEAN" series is an ode to the sea depths, a mysterious realm where sea creatures hold deep secrets. This collection embodies a psychic container, an area of the unconscious that contains the archetypes, forms and symbols present in all cultures of the world. Masterfully crafted using epoxy resin, these works capture the enigmatic essence of the depths of the subconscious. The world of dreams and its multiple interpretations.

Materials:
These crowns are created with meticulous craftsmanship, made completely by hand using the epoxy resin casting technique. Every step of the process is carried out with care and precision, ensuring that each crown is unique and bears distinctive craftsmanship.
Hallmark of the year:
A distinctive element of these crowns is the stamping of the year of creation, applied by hand on each piece. A personalized touch that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
After the woodwork is done strictly by hand, each crown is subjected to a surface finishing process. The combination of shellac and beeswax is precisely applied to protect the wood and to give the surface a gloss or semi-gloss appearance. These finishes preserve the natural beauty of the wood, allowing the grain and nuances to emerge in all their splendor
Curiosity:
The emotional depth embodied by this series of Crowns is indisputable. Their semi-transparencies and opalescences evoke reverberations of submerged and unknown worlds, creating a sensation of mystery and wonder that deeply fascinates. Each crown in this series represents an irresistible invitation to explore the hidden depths of the human soul and its infinite creatures that live there. These works remind us of our journey into the uterine sea of our mothers, when water connected us to a state where we did not yet feel separate from the vast universe. The meaning of the "BLACK OCEAN" belongs to the deepest structure of our psyche and continues to manifest itself on a psychic level through the dreams and fantastic imaginations of each of us. They are symbols that call us to explore our origins.
“REBEL GENIUS” SERIES
The "REBEL GENIUS" series is an ode to bold creativity and non-conformity. In this collection, each creation represents the challenge against conventions and celebrates individuality. The series captures the rebellious and innovative spirit of those who choose to break the rules and embrace their Daimon. Made with silicone-based materials and original production techniques, the Crowns in this series invite you to explore new horizons and embrace irrepressible and explosive genius. They represent cultivating one's potential because we must offer others the best of each of us. To do this, it is essential to be aware of what makes us unique, of that internal nature that distinguishes us.

From the Latin genius, noun derived from the verb geno "to generate", "to create"
"NATURAL PRODUCING FORCE"
Materials:
These crowns are created with a blend of black single-component polymers. They are prepared and shaped with meticulous craftsmanship, worked by hand.
Metal identification plate:
A distinctive element of these crowns is a bronze metal plate bearing an identifying number, applied by hand to each piece. A touch of sophistication that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
This collection can be left natural or enriched with the application of gold, silver or copper leaf. These precious metals give a touch of refinement to the creations, further elevating their beauty and artistic value. The use of this shiny layer adds an element of shine, which makes their originality.
Curiosity:
The concept of "daimon" or the "rebel genius" draws its roots from Plato's myth of Er, and the psychoanalyst and essayist James Hillman describes him as the divine guide who accompanies us in the fulfillment of the plan that our soul has chosen before of birth, even though we often forget its existence once we arrive in the world. However, the vocation and calling of the daimon remain intact, and this inner being does everything possible for us to recognize and follow them. The daimon represents an essential part of who we are meant to be. James Hillman states: "The daemon faithfully accompanies us and pushes us towards greatness and power. He desires to be recognized and celebrated, and his only aspiration is to express himself fully." To release this inner power, it is necessary to get out of our now stratified and sedimented certainties and embrace our true self. It represents an internal death, the seed that must die in order to be reborn. As Plato wisely wrote: "We are what we choose to be."
“DANCING WOOD” SERIES
This series of Crowns represents uncontrolled creativity that manifests itself through a variety of artistic elements. Between swirls, scales, bas-reliefs, punchings, scratches, moldings and engravings, each crown captures the essence of a limitless and fully free creative process. These artistic elements converge to create complex works, in which beauty is found in their diversity and in the expression of a creativity that knows no boundaries, but is expressed through harmonious and free gestures. They are brushstrokes of emotions that try to emerge from the depths of the wood, tracing an artistic history that embraces the roots of art. They can evoke tribal suggestions or explore the baroque space, resulting in evocative repetitive gestures; offering a rich and compelling visual experience that takes us through an emotional journey into the boundless world of art.
"THE HIDDEN VOICE OF WOOD"
Materials:
These crowns are made entirely by hand, using various types of wood coming from processing waste or recovered from various places. There could be wood coming from a landfill, up to those recovered from old wooden beams of abandoned houses. The use of these recycled woods gives each wreath a unique story.
Hallmark of the year:
A distinctive element of these crowns is the stamping of the year of creation, applied by hand on each piece. A personalized touch that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
After processing the wood, which occurs through mechanical scratching or gouging, the wood is subjected to a surface finishing process using enamel paint. Sometimes, we decide to leave the wood in its natural state, thus allowing the grains of the material to emerge and express their intrinsic beauty. In others, layers of enamel paint are applied. In this phase, different combinations of colors and effects come to life, completing the work. This finishing process gives crowns their final aesthetic, creating variations in appearance and texture that contribute to their overall beauty.
Curiosity:
The peculiarity of these Crowns undeniably lies in their refinement. The craftsman does not start from a pre-established design or specific guidelines, but lets himself be guided exclusively by his instinct and the emotions of the moment. It is the type of wood itself that acts as a guide, suggesting to the craftsman where to place his chisel and where to leave the surface intact. It is the soul of the wood that communicates with the craftsman and guides his faithful hand along the veins of his body. In this creative process, the connection between the craftsman and the wood becomes an emotional and intuitive dialogue, in which the wood reveals its essence and the craftsman responds with his sensitivity. This collaboration between the creator and material makes these crowns imbued with meaning, bringing to light the hidden voice of the wood.
“THE CARDINALS” SERIES
Sometimes, it can be difficult to orient yourself in an endless space when there are no points of reference. This can lead to a total loss of orientation, and that is precisely what these crowns embody. The word "Cardinal" comes from the Latin "cardinal," which originates from the word "cardo," meaning "pivot" or "fixed point." However, the same word can have many meanings, and "thistle" could also represent the action of rubbing, spinning, scratching or scraping. So, it can be difficult to extricate yourself from this impasse, just like when you find yourself in a vast territory without clear points of reference. The "I CARDINALI" series plays with the exchange of colours, creating a chameleon-like effect. The crowns are covered with layers of paint and then covered with a very thin blade of shiny metal. This process creates a distorted perception, in which one is no longer aware of whether the enamel is covering the metal or whether the metal is corroding the paint. It is a game of contrasts and illusions, of corroding or enriching those above or those below.
"PLAYING WITH CORROSION AND WEALTH"
Materials:
Materials: These crowns are made entirely by hand, using various types of wood coming from processing waste or recovered from various places. There could be wood coming from a landfill, up to those recovered from old wooden beams of abandoned houses and churches. The use of these recycled woods gives each wreath a unique story.
Metal identification plate:
A distinctive element of these crowns is a bronze metal plate bearing an identifying number, applied by hand to each piece. A touch of sophistication that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
After woodworking, each crown undergoes a surface finishing process involving the application of several layers and combinations of enamel. Once this process is completed, we proceed with lamination using gold, silver or copper leaf. Finally, to give shine and protection to the crowns, a protective sealant is applied by brushing. This finishing process not only visually enriches the crowns but also helps to preserve the beauty over time.
Curiosity:
In ancient times, to card textile fibres, in particular wool, and make them clean and smooth, eliminating knots and tangles, a wooden tool very similar to a comb or rake, equipped with numerous sharp points, was used. This tool was handled with skill by the spinners, who with patience and dexterity made the fleece of the animals smooth and shiny.
Furthermore, according to an ancient Turkish legend, there are four Cardinal deities or Lords: the Black Khan in the north, the Red Khan in the south, the White Khan in the west and the Blue Khan in the east. These deities represent important points and are intrinsically linked to the concept of direction and orientation.
“POETIC SUTURE” SERIES
"Every wound has its own way of closing, and the skin loves suturing. Needle and thread are needed to heal the torn edges of the soul, but sometimes the thread is too fragile, and then metal staples are needed to join what has been dismembered." The crowns of the “poetic suture” series embody this principle. They claim to recall the abominable creature born from the mind of Mary Shelley. Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus, who becomes a sewn-up "creature". It becomes the example of the sublime, of the different, which as such causes terror. The idea of an art that unites what has been fragmented, dismembered and mended, celebrating the beauty of broken souls. These Crowns are a second skin, a tribute to inner reconstruction, to the rebirth that from waste becomes an adorable creature. A Prometheus torn apart by the cruel eagles, who has now freed himself from the chains that kept him imprisoned. Not even his creator recognizes his creature and this pain has rendered him mute, like the most beautiful poem ever spoken.
"A POEM STITCHED ON THE SKIN"
Materials:
These crowns are made entirely by hand, using processing waste recovered from the most varied places. There could be leather from an old bag, or from a shoe, from a jacket left in the attic or from a garment thrown into landfill. For these crowns, both natural and vegetable leather are used, we make no distinction. This is the principle of diversity and recovery. Each piece is imbued with its past history, making its journey unique. Not only are these crowns aesthetically fascinating but they become an archetype of transformation and rebirth, lost in the depths of time.
Metal identification plate:
A distinctive element of these crowns is a bronze metal plate bearing an identifying number, applied by hand to each piece. A touch of sophistication that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
Each crown starts from a wooden base, which is then covered with recycled leather.
Curiosity:
It is thought that the Holy Grail, the cup from which Jesus drank during the last supper and which Joseph of Arimathea used to collect the drops of blood from the crucified Christ, was made of olive wood. The olive tree was considered a symbolic and sacred tree in many ancient cultures, including Christianity, and is often associated with symbolism of peace, eternal life and spirituality. Its longevity and ability to survive for centuries have contributed to this connection. At the center of ourselves, resides the Olive Tree, distiller of green gold, vegetal fire, alchemical substance of transformation.
“BLACK TAR” SERIES
The "BLACK TAR" series is a fascinating journey into the past, a tribute to the times when tar had a fundamental role in the construction of boats. In ancient times, tar was used by naval craftsmen and had the purpose of caulking boats, protecting the wood from corrosion and the action of sea water. It was a process of great value and importance for those who sailed the seas, so much so that it was considered as precious as gold. With the advent of iron, steel and fiberglass ships, this ancient process was gradually abandoned, and tar lost its centrality in shipbuilding. However, this "BLACK TAR" series brings that tradition and those bygone times to life, celebrating the ancient navigators and shipwrights who were able to transform this viscous element, vital for discovering new worlds. Through this collection, we are able to capture the essence of an era when the black matterit was fundamental. It is a heartfelt tribute to those who sailed the seas with courage and determination, relying on the protective power of black tar. In this way, this series becomes a true exploratory journey into that immense sea, which we call "emotions"
"THE EMBRACE OF A BLACK DISCOVERY"
Materials:
Our "BLACK TAR" series crowns are made through a highly meticulous and engaging artisanal process. We use a mixture of black single-component polymers, to which we add gold, silver or copper foils. This combination gives the crowns a special and unique texture, which captures the essence of black tar and precious metals. Each crown is created with care and attention to detail, following an artisanal process that involves preparation and shaping.
Metal identification plate:
A distinctive element of these crowns is a bronze metal plate bearing an identifying number, applied by hand to each piece. A touch of sophistication that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
After wood processing, Made strictly by hand, each crown is subjected to a surface finishing process. The application takes place using a spatula and once the mixture between polymers and sheets has been created, a layer of material is spread on the walls of the wood, which covers it completely.
Curiosity:
Tar is obtained as a product of the distillation of coal. Various tars are also obtained from the distillation of lignite, peat, shale and from the distillation of wood. For millennia, ancient Egyptians used tar to preserve bodies. Geological research shows that the tar came from several sources, offering a glimpse into ancient trade routes. All tar and bitumen sands contain a source-specific component, known as a bioindicator, which has unique geological characteristics closely related to the biological precursor of petroleum. By comparing the mixtures identified through residue analysis with labels engraved in ancient jars, the researchers found that the usual translation of the ancient Egyptian word “antiu” as “myrrh” or “incense” can sometimes be incorrect, in which not it represented a single substance but instead a mixture of scented oils or tar with grease. In 1945, fifty-two bound manuscripts, the so-called codices of Nag Hammadi. They were found in a terracotta jar, sealed with black bitumen, and candied feathers to keep the precious manuscripts safe. in a sweet warmth. The texts contained are mostly Christian Gnostic writings, but also include works belonging to the Corpus Hermeticum and a passage from Plato's Republic.
“CORROSIVE WATER” SERIES
The "AQUA CORROSIVA" series is truly a unique and fascinating experience. This collection takes its name from the corrosion process, a chemical reaction in which certain reagents act to change the structure of metals. But the term "corrosion" has a profound symbolic resonance, resonating both in alchemy and in the search for self-perception.
In alchemy, the term "corrosion" is used to refer to extreme and fast methods of achieving a transformation. These processes can be compared to a primordial solvent, which softens the petrifications and rigidities of the soul and mind. It is a process of purification and transmutation, in which one gets rid of impurities to discover one's most authentic essence. The "AQUA CORROSIVA" series captures this spirit of transformation and self-search. Each piece in this collection reflects the beauty that can emerge from corrosion, whether physical, mental or metaphorical. It is a reminder of our ability to adapt, transform and reveal our essence through change. This series represents a fascinating union between science, alchemical symbolism and artistic expression. It is an invitation to explore the depths of transformation and discover the beauty that can emerge even from seemingly destructive processes.
"THE PSYCHIC PROCESS THAT STOPS TIME AND CAPTURES THE Ephemeral"
Materials:
The creation of our "AQUA CORROSIVA" series crowns is a highly meticulous and fascinating artisanal process. These crowns are made with water-based resins that contain tiny metal particles. However, the real magic begins when a reagent activator, such as vinegar or other similar substances, comes into play and kickstarts the transformation process. This metamorphosis is a truly unique and extraordinary phenomenon, in which chemical reactions create surprising effects. The metal particles within the resin begin to react with the activator, resulting in extraordinarily beautiful and complex textures and colors.
Metal identification plate:
A distinctive element of these crowns is a bronze metal plate bearing an identifying number, applied by hand to each piece. A touch of sophistication that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
The process of erosion present in the creation of this series is truly fascinating. It's like capturing a magical moment of transformation and fixing it in time. This is an extraordinary representation of the desire to stop time and capture the ephemeral. To stop this reaction and preserve the effect over time, a special protectant is used. This substance plays a crucial role in the process, as it allows the final appearance of the crowns to be fixed, preserving it for eternity. It's a bit like taking a photograph of a unique and precious moment, but instead of using a camera, you use chemistry and the art of craftsmanship to create a time-defying work of art.
Curiosity:
The term corrosion derives from the Latin com- particle indicating insistence and gnawing, to "consume" which indicates a natural and irreversible process of slow and continuous consumption of a material, which has as its consequences the worsening of the characteristics or physical properties of the material initially involved .
“RUSH & BUTTERFLY”
The "RUSH & BUTTERFLY" series is truly a fascinating journey through ancient civilizations, a journey that takes us back in time, exploring the deep roots of our human history. This journey winds through kilometers of lands and cultures. The Silk Road, with its network of commercial, cultural and intellectual exchanges, played a fundamental role in the development of ancient civilizations, such as Egypt, China, India and Rome. This ancient serpent of trade routes opened doors and minds, allowing individuals to connect with new worlds and learn the arts and secrets of every civilization from every corner of the globe. However, this vital circle was interrupted and broken at a crucial moment in history, leading to the disappearance of entire cultures, such as the Egyptian one, whose contribution was largely erased from history. The Via del Giunco was completely forgotten, while that of the Butterfly became increasingly popular. This series reminds us of the importance of preserving history and the connections woven between civilizations, but also how fragile it is to lose the memory of human knowledge. It is a call to understand and value our global history, because only through understanding our roots can we hope to reconstruct a precious habit, plot of history.
“THE RUSH ON WHICH THE BUTTERFLY REST”
Materials:
These crowns are made entirely by hand, using fabrics, brocades, silks and ribbons from all over the world. Grandma's old rags or unused doilies regain the splendor of authentic things. Each piece of fabric has a unique history and beauty. The hands that worked it and patiently woven it are the true value of this collection. This is the principle of diversity and recovery. Each piece is steeped in its backstory, making its journey unique. Not only are these crowns aesthetically fascinating but they become an archetype of transformation and rebirth.
Metal identification plate:
A distinctive element of these crowns is a bronze metal plate bearing an identifying number, applied by hand to each piece. A touch of sophistication that not only adds a sense of authenticity, but also allows each crown to be dated uniquely. Each piece thus becomes a tangible testimony of the time and effort dedicated to its creation.
Surface finish:
Once the wooden base on which they will be adhered has been prepared, the crowns are covered and decorated with various types of fabrics. Each fabric is carefully chosen and selected in order to wrap the crown and give it the most suitable and harmonious shape. In some of them, hot wax is poured and the PrismaNero seal is applied.
Curiosity:
The art of spinning and weaving is deeply rooted in human history, dating back to prehistoric times. However, it is difficult to establish a precise date when this art originated. Our main sources of knowledge about the ancient art of weaving come from ancient literature, supported by vase, pictorial and mosaic depictions, as well as rare archaeological finds.
The first information we have on ancient fabrics takes us to an era in which the art of weaving had already reached a notable degree of technical perfection. The scarcity of ancient textile finds is due to the perishability of yarns of natural origin, such as linen, cotton, wool and silk, as well as the tools used for weaving, often made of organic materials such as wood. Despite this challenge in preservation, the history of weaving and spinning has been passed down through various historical and visual sources, allowing us to appreciate the profound importance and tradition of this art in human evolution.
“THE STONES” SERIES
The "THE STONES" series is a compelling journey into the exploration of the underground depths, where nature hides its most precious secrets. These gems, such as rubies, diamonds, emeralds, sapphires and black stones, are like fragments of a hidden world, sparkling and enchanting. They shine in the darkness when a faint light passes through them and show all their splendor. They captivate with their complexity and purity and enchant with their brilliance. Caves that become immense geodes to explore. Each stone tells its thousand-year history of geological formation, incredible pressures that they had to undergo over a very long time, culminating in creations of extraordinary beauty. At the beginning of the world each gem is like a silent guardian of the secrets of our planet. They were sent to explore underground and then never returned to the surface. The "LE PIETRE" series is a tribute to that patient transformation, in which time needs to expand for its transformation to take place. The magic and mystery of these treasures nestled in the heart of the earth, inviting those who observe them, to immerse yourself in an underground world full of magic and wonder.

Therefore, anyone who receives one of these Crowns can be sure that they own a truly special and incomparable piece of jewellery.
The MY PRIVATE collection, however, is made up of pieces that have an emotional value for us,
symbolic and emotional and can also belong to a certain series.
" IT DOES NOT END HERE "
- FREE YOUR CREATIVITY -
PrismaNero doesn't stop here and wants to go even beyond what the conventions are. We have a deep love for the spirit of sharing, exchanging and what was once known as circular economy thinking. The etymology of the term "Economy" comes from the ancient Greek, (oikos) which means "house" or, more specifically, "family assets" and "νόμος" (nomos) means "custom" which represents the "right way of operating and proceed." The concept of economy in ancient societies and in past generations was linked to household goods which had to circulate freely among all members, acquiring more and more sentimental and affective value. Many still remember how an item of clothing, before being thrown away, was passed from family to family from brother to brother, until there was almost nothing left of what it had originally been. For many this way of seeing was called "poverty", but for others, this way of sharing gave that singular object something truly special. An object that became a memory of the family. In ancient Greece Nomos was the spirit of laws, statutes and ordinances. The wife of Nomos she is Eusebia (mercy) and their daughter is Dike (justice).
It is for this reason that we have reserved a special space on this website, where any artist or supporter of this ancient concept can participate. We provide a creative environment, where anyone can express their artistic passion through the creation of Crowns. We make no distinctions based on age or ability, inviting children, adults, young people and the elderly to share their works. Your creations will be displayed in an online gallery, where everyone can admire them and even purchase them if they wish. Let your imagination run free and follow your creative Daimon, because here there is room for everyone.
